In such an era of rapid technological change, the use of thinking to control computer behavior has become very widespread and common. As for the "brain" of this very controversial game played by real people, that is, its creator, then It's Ken Castle (Michael Hall), a billionaire who completely hides himself at home. He has just recently created a brand new shooter called "The Killer," which is viewed online in first person and provides a platform that allows millions of people to imagine their most bloodthirsty and cruelty. Put the power into action and fight with players around the world-as for the real people who need to play the role in the game this time, they are all prisoners from prisons, because they need to face a threat more terrible than death. The game can not only kill people, but also provide "society". Players can use their brains to control real people in the "society" to experience the experiences they dare not, can't, and don't allow in their real life: they can play, date, sex!
Kyber (Gerard Butler) is the superstar and adored hero in this terribly violent game, and the real-world player who controls Kyber is Simon (Logan Leigh). Man) -- is a very young gaming maniac. Every week, Simon will continue to challenge all players, accumulating the fruits of victory together with Keber... And for Keber, a puppet-like modern gladiator, he left his family because of being framed and was Being put in prison and being forced to fight against his will is actually a very painful thing, but only by allowing himself to survive can he become a free man and return to his relatives and restore his identity. At the same time, it can also rescue people who are "enslaved" by games like him from those cruel and ruthless technologies. Until one day Simon felt Kyber's pain and began to cooperate with him to rescue Kyber in the game and himself trapped in reality.
Imagine if you became a character in a game with your own mind but no control over your actions; forced to do things against your will; need to date, have sex with a complete stranger Sexual relationships; have to kill someone you love, what would you do? In real life, isn't each of us in a big game? We always play roles, willingly or unwillingly, and while we don't have to kill people, our actions often kill who we really are. We all want to be able to find our true selves, but this desire is often out of reach. Perhaps this is the reason why the film can find resonance with the audience and at the same time it is a big box office hit.
