From writer/director Gareth Edwards (Rogue One, Godzilla) comes an epic sci-fi action thriller set amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence.

Joshua (Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Chan), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war... and mankind itself.

Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory... only to discover the world-ending weapon he's been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child (Voyles).

Director/co-writer Gareth Edwards says, "The timing of this film is surreal. Even though we've been developing this movie for years, it's opening at a fascinating time when our world is wrestling with a lot of the issues and questions we wanted to address with the film-what it means to be human, whether AI can be conscious, questions of good and evil among AI and among people. I really think that exploring these questions is what sci-fi does best."

To bring Gareth Edwards' vision to the screen, the production traveled over 10,000 miles to 80 different locations in eight different countries, including Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal, Japan, Indonesia, the U.K. (at Pinewood Studios outside of London), and the U.S. (in La). Rather than designing the film upfront, they took the unconventional approach of shooting the film first without sets, leaving the production design work until after it wrapped, during post-production.

The Creator is released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD 15th January 2023 from Walt Disney Home Entertainment.
