Director and SFX ace Gareth Edwards’ very first feature, the terrific sci-fi adventure Monsters, quickly cemented him as one of the most exciting new British directorial talents. Edwards is now back with The Creator, another sci-fi adventure in which he broaches one of the hottest questions of the moment: can humans and AI ever exist in harmony side by side.  

In a future where America has declared war against all AI beings, John David Washington is Joshua, a hardened ex-special forces soldier pining over the disappearance of his pregnant wife Maya (Gemma Chan). Joshua is subsequently recruited by Howell (Allison Janney) to hunt down and kill the man they call The Creator, a scientist who became sympathetic to the plight of innocent AI creations.
