Overview

In a near future where justice has been stripped of human oversight, society depends entirely on an advanced artificial intelligence system to determine guilt and innocence. Detective Christopher Raven awakens inside a sealed chamber that resembles both a courtroom and a prison. Confused and restrained, he is confronted by a towering digital projection of the AI judge. The judge declares that Raven is accused of murdering his wife and informs him that he has ninety minutes to prove his innocence or face immediate execution.

This intense and gripping sci-fi thriller explores the razor edge of justice and the terrifying possibility of machine error. It is a perfect choice for viewers who enjoy high-stakes stories and mind-bending technological mysteries.
