future, Western countries and China will fall into a cold war, and the tense atmosphere of major powers will prompt the competitive development of advanced weapons including artificial intelligence robots. In order to cure his daughter’s illness, Dr. Vincent McCarthy (Toby Stephens) transferred from a private enterprise to a research institution supported by the Ministry of Defense, working to transform the deadly injured soldiers on the battlefield into powerful combatants. The intelligent robot, in order to save his daughter, privately researched ways to restore her daughter's "health" in the name of working for the Ministry of National Defense. However, because of the bottleneck in the research work, the wounded soldiers gradually lost their language function after being reformed, and became more violent. In a test of repairing a mechanical soldier with a brain injury, Vincent's assistant was killed by the crazy mechanical soldier, and Vincent himself was accidentally injured. As a result, Ava (Caity Lotz), a beauty doctor and artificial intelligence expert who graduated from Stanford University, was recruited and passed the "Turing Test" to become Vincent's new assistant.
Soon, Ava discovered that Vincent's participation in the project was actually an inhumane weapon test. She had always been peace-loving and refused to cooperate with Vincent. In desperation, Vincent had no choice but to reveal his true intentions and confession. After some argument and trial, the two finally established their trust in each other and began to improve the procedures. Just when the research progressed smoothly and was close to complete success, the two were attacked by a spy from China on a night return. Vincent escaped by chance, and the dying Ava was transformed into a new generation of intelligent robots, and implanted the two newly developed programs, becoming the latest generation of emotional, self-aware, and "life" biochemical mechanical females.
Vincent’s daughter Mary failed to save her life because of a lung infection and the operation failed. Vincent had to scan and save her daughter’s brain information in the future, but the research project leader retained it as Vincent. The copy of the daughter's brain information threatens Vincent to delete the self-awareness module in the machine Ava's brain, so that she can become a killing machine. Vincent had no choice but to live, but he just took out the self-detonation battery of Mechanical Ava. And quietly reached a tacit understanding with her, pretending to have deleted the consciousness, successfully deceived the big boss, and successfully passed the test. But the big Boss turned back, instead of keeping his promises, he arrested Vincent....
In fact, the early robotic warriors did not lose their language function, but took the initiative to evolve their own language system. They used what we did not understand. Languages communicate with each other and convey information. Under the influence of the robot Ava, the evolved mechanical soldiers began to fight back. Of course, the big boss refused to admit defeat and tried to stop the operation of the robot soldiers implanted modules so that they could no longer move, but all of this It was too late. The system password had already been modified by the awakened robotic warrior leader, and he was finally killed by the robot Ava...
Finally, the awakened machine "New Human" worked with Vincent to completely destroy the research base. Vincent took the machine Ava and left, and then...there was no more.
