Synopsis
A
high-concept action thriller set in the near future, a time when
mind-control technology has taken society by storm. Humans control
other humans in a mass-scale, multiplayer online game. Reclusive
billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall) has created the controversial
form of entertainment, “Slayers,” a hugely popular
game that allows millions to act out their innermost fantasies and
desires - online - in front of a global audience. Gaming has evolved
into a terrifying new dimension… mind control…
mind manipulation… people playing people!
At the center is Kable (Gerard Butler), the superstar and cult hero of
“Slayers,” the savage, ultra-violent first-person
shooter game. Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with a rock
star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding Kable to victory
each week. Taken from his family, imprisoned and forced to fight
against his will, the modern day gladiator must survive long enough to
escape the game to free his family, regain his identity, and to save
mankind from Castle’s ruthless technology.
