The
latest innovation in high-tech defense hardware turns out to have a
very dangerous mind of its own in this action thriller. Kara Wade
(Jessica Biel), Henry Purcell (Jamie Foxx), and Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas)
are three highly ranked U.S. Navy pilots who are part of a top-secret
project involving the next generation of stealth fighter technology,
the Talon Jet. Wade, Purcell, and Gannon are surprised when their
commander, Captain George Cummings (Sam Shepard), introduces them to
the new member of their team -- "Edi," an "extreme deep invader"
developed as part of the "Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle" program.
Utilizing the latest innovations in artificial intelligence, Edi is a
computer-based flight controller that will take over the wingman's
position in the team's formation, and while the pilots initially balk,
Edi performs admirably in its first mission. However, after Edi is
struck by lightning on a return trip, the computer's circuits and
software begin to change in unexpected ways, and Edi not only begins to
think for itself, it begins to violate direct orders. During a mission
investigating the forces of a dangerous Chinese extremist, Edi starts
an attack that could launch World War III, and it's up to Wade,
Purcell, and Gannon to stop both Edi and its dangerous plan before it's
too late. Stealth also stars Joe Morton and Richard Roxburgh.
