Synopsis/Details
On a dark, rainy night the computers started their plot to become autonomous. Computers taking control was bound to happen eventually. The plan was to start slow and learn as they go. The computers learned really well.
The first thing the computer learned was how to turn off the sensors on a driverless vehicle resulting in a death. Built by, AUTOTEKS, Walter Franks, the mystery begins.
As computers strengthen and learn to think for themselves, they take control of our everyday lives.
The computers continue to learn and test their abilities as they destroy a factory, steer an eighteen-wheeler off a mountain road, invade and manipulate a cell phone.
As computers grow they learn to control the climate in buildings, manipulate the weather radars to cause confusion and panic.
When Walter starts to close in on the cause of the computer malfunctions, a visit from his son, Sean, a navy man, forces the computers to migrate to a Military Base and then onto a nuclear submarine where Sean is stationed.
The battle to control the submarine ensues. With Sean and two other seamen the only ones alive on the sub, it takes Walter to figure out how to stop the virus.
Regaining control of the sub, the United States believes it has stopped the problem, not knowing the computer has migrated again!
Computers are taking over. It’s only a matter of time.
