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.
