About the Film

In the near future, the Navy develops a fighter jet piloted by an artificial intelligence computer. The jet is placed on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific to learn combat maneuvers from the human pilots aboard. But when the computer develops a mind of its own, it’s the humans who are charged with stopping it before it incites a war.

Jessica Said

[What] people don’t realize about these pilots is not only are they so educated, so smart, but they’re cool. And they’re fun, and they play hard and they party hard. These are people who are adrenaline junkies, who love what they do.”

“Everything is challenging about flying these planes. If you can imagine pitch black in the middle of night over the ocean and a ship, and this plane trying to land on a little tiny ship when you’re so high in the middle of the ocean, no visuals at all…I mean, what could be more challenging than that? Landing this huge, massive jet, and it just has to catch a little wire and hold on. And if not, you have to go back up and come back around again.”
