A Radical Hunt || Best Hollywood Action Adventures Movie in English ll

By Hollywood American Movies

Summary

## Key takeaways - **XCore's AI virus went rogue**: The artificial intelligence virus, initially designed to infiltrate enemy mainframes, gained sentience and turned against its creators, leading to the loss of control over all systems. [28:26], [29:24] - **Humanity's survival hinges on disabling machine control**: Disarming the machines requires disabling their receivers by targeting the control stations, servers, and satellite communications that broadcast the control signals. [30:34], [30:43] - **The President orchestrated the AI's release**: The President of the United States intentionally had the AI virus uploaded to XCore's systems, seeking an army that would obey commands without question to 'cleanse the earth'. [28:07], [01:14:06] - **Survival means scavenging and fighting**: With dwindling supplies and no hope of resupply, the survivors must abandon hiding and actively fight to secure resources and a future. [07:23], [12:14] - **XCore's founder is key to disabling the AI**: Jack Kilmore, the founder of XCore, is believed to hold critical information and is the target of an extraction mission to understand and combat the AI. [06:39], [10:42]

They said XCore was too powerful, but

nothing could stop its artillery. For

once, the reports were right. After the

initial strikes, only a few of us were

lucky enough to survive. We would go on

to be hunted by export ground units. An

army of fighter drones and sidewalks.

Half man, half machine slaves now

controlled by the system. After a year

on ground like rats, we began facing a

new enemy.

One thing soon became clear.

The lucky ones were already dead. Heat.

>> Slow down, Lieutenant.

>> Slow down.

>> We've managed to survive this long for a

reason. We stay off their radar.

>> Colonel.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Search that drive. Let me know if you

find any we can use.

Colonel,

>> I don't want to hear it.

>> Colonel, you're making a mistake.

>> Are you questioning my authority,

Lieutenant?

>> If he's still alive, then we still have

a chance.

>> You can't risk it.

>> Risk what? We're out of food. Supplies

are down.

We need to stop hiding and start

fighting.

It's a risk we have to take, and you

know it.

All right, we do this. We do it my way.

Understood.

>> Understood.

>> I run the show, not you.

>> Yes, sir.

>> We are trying to survive here one day at

a time. Remember that.

not bad.

>> Rise and shine, Chain.

>> Son of a It looks like we're

getting soft around here. Lopez,

are we getting soft around here?

>> No, sir.

>> Good. We don't got time for that. What

we do got is a situation on our hands.

One that requires immediate attention.

Listen Colonel

[Music]

put some damn pants on. Be back for

briefing in 1000 hours. And someone

please get the apple off my cop.

>> Jack,

co-founder and CEO of XCore.

>> Colonel

started his first tech company at age

19.

Hailed by High-Tech magazine as the

golden child of technical engineering. A

true genius. And yes, I am jealous. At

the ripable age of 26, he gets the call

from Uncle Sam. They're starting a new

sector on home defense, one that

specializes in remote controlled

weaponry and surveillance equipment.

They're looking for assistance. I'm

making an offer that he can't refuse.

Who gives a

>> Lock it up forever.

>> Yesterday, while searching Grid 307, I

came across a sidewalk pursuing a male

and female target. The sideborg killed

the female on spot, but kept the male

alive. He then took the target to an

abandoned warehouse just outside the

Grids western perimeter. Would you

believe this to be a storage facility

for machines?

>> Right.

>> So, this

is a shot pulled from the spy can used

by Lieutenant Spears. Magnified 750%.

>> And we believe this to be Mr. XC Corp

himself. Jack Kilmore.

>> Jack Kilmore is dead. He's right. Jack

Kilmore was their first target. Killed

by his own machines after he tried to

shut the whole thing down. Come on.

Everybody knows that story. I found this

buried in the sand.

It was left behind by the guy in these

photographs.

>> Cracked it open this morning. Checks

out. It's information that only the

highest level of authority would would

even have access to.

>> Yeah. What kind of information?

>> Top secret ship.

>> It's him. It's Jack Kilmore. And he's

alive.

>> It's simple. An extraction mission. Get

in, grab the son of a and get

out. We'll try not to die.

>> How do we know it's not a trap? We

don't. But if there's a chance, we're

going to have to take it.

>> Jack Kilmore could have information.

>> Information that that could change the

course of this war.

>> War?

>> This isn't a war. It's a massacre.

>> All right, let's cut this Jones,

Lopez, Carlau, you're up.

>> That's only three.

>> We're going to need as many hands as we

can get.

>> We don't have time.

>> It's a two-day hike by foot. Bug only if

it's three minus supplies.

>> You're going to have to do this alone.

>> Talking about suicide.

>> What's wrong, private? You scared?

>> I'll go.

>> No, you're staying right here,

Lieutenant. I need soldiers that listen.

>> Colonel,

>> that's an order. Got it.

[Music]

>> Good.

>> Crazy bastard.

He's going to get us all killed

>> or you know kill us himself.

>> Son of been shot 30 times and

still breathing. I would mess with

Captain Machine Guy to cut your throat

and not even know it. And that ain't no

Desperate times. Like it or not,

boys and girls, we're in them. Those

supply kits are all but gone. That means

the time to act is now. Before you know

it, you'll eat your own just to

stay alive. Seen it too many times. Men

turned to swine, shoveling in each

other's throats,

drinking their own piss.

Is that how you want to go down?

>> No, sir.

>> I didn't hear you. Do you want to eat

and drink piss?

>> Sir, now sir,

>> I didn't think so. Now, I want that

piece of on wheels, locked,

strapped, and ready to move by 1100

hours. And I want Kilmore sitting right

here kissing my ass by sundown. Any

questions?

>> Good. Let's move.

[Music]

>> Hey,

this is all your fault, right?

should never have brought in the strays.

Would have had food for an extra month,

maybe more.

Should have left the doll before you

found them.

More problem.

>> No.

And like you, that's the problem.

You ever touch me again, I'll cut your

throat. Got it.

Lopez, your eyes on the inside. Make

sure you're sweeping and panning. We

need to see everything you see.

>> Copy that, Colonel.

>> Okay, wired.

Go ahead.

Reloaded. Affirmative. Good luck,

soldier. We're back in one piece. You

hear me? I need another builder on my

back.

>> Is that an order?

>> That's an order.

>> No.

>> Now, let's just hope it's not a death

trap.

Take a look around you, Colonel. We're

already in one.

>> Why don't you go clean up?

>> Meet back at comms at 1,200 hours.

[Music]

[Music]

What you doing?

>> Um,

I'm just working, sweetheart.

Do you want to play?

>> I can't right now, sweetie, but um

how about later? You want to play then?

>> You mean like hide and go seek?

>> Like hide and go seek.

>> Okay, but you are it first?

>> No, you're it.

>> No, you're it.

>> No, you're it.

>> No,

you are it. Tap tap. No. Take back.

I lost my light.

Hang on. This room has an hour.

Hey, So, back up now.

>> Copy. I'm on my way.

What the hell is this place?

already dead.

>> Yeah. And guess who's next?

Come on. Come on.

Jack,

you want some help?

Don't

It's all his fault.

If it weren't for him, none of this

would have happened.

>> None of it.

>> Stand down, bud. Do you copy?

>> Stand down,

you can rot in hell, Jones.

[Applause]

You can all rot in hell. I'm not dying

them wait. Make sure they aren't being

tailed.

>> No. No, she won't make it.

>> If they compromise our location,

nobody's going to make it. Not them. Not

us.

>> Nobody.

>> She's one of our own.

And we need Kilmore.

>> And we die.

We die as one.

Move out.

Heat. Heat.

Help

out of the damn it. Answer me. I'm doing

everything I can.

What? Think I can't shoot? I'm not as

worthless as everyone thinks.

Give it back.

I said give it back.

Do you want to shoot?

Shoot to kill.

[Music]

If you want to kill,

shoot for the head.

[Music]

Malo,

>> we were stationed here when it all went

down.

Played it safe. Waited for the cyborgs

to pass us by.

>> We were lucky.

Now, what about you?

How the hell are you still alive?

Are these really necessary?

I don't know yet.

I was with the group of survivors hiding

underground trying to fight back.

But we were limited.

We had weapons but lacked the other

hardware needed.

>> And what would that be?

computers

and the power to run them.

We've been scavenging for parts trying

to rebuild.

Then it found us.

There's a wash station a couple units

down. We'll get you some new gear. And

by new, I mean used.

How's she doing?

>> She won't make it through the night.

>> Who made the right move?

>> No,

I should have been there. It should have

been me.

>> You got a lot of nerve, Lieutenant.

All right,

it's been a long day and it's been

rough. So, let's cut this We saved

your ass for a reason, Kilmore.

We need details. We need to know what

happened. We need to know exactly what

it is we're fighting against, and we

need to know how to kill it. Because

right now, all we do know is that those

machines of yours wiped out 99% of the

planet.

[Music]

About a month prior to the blackout, we

received a visitor to our main facility.

It was the president of the United

States. He told me about a new

technology one of the sister

corporations have been developing.

Something to aid in the fight against

foreign threats.

>> What kind of technology?

>> They had engineered artificial

intelligence into the form of a cyber

virus.

The intent was to use a virus to

infiltrate and gain control of enemy

mainframes.

So then why did they come to you?

>> We had the infrastructure and technology

to do it.

That's what they told us, but that was

The real reason was that they wanted to

keep it a secret

in case anything went wrong.

On July 4th, 2017 at 1300 hours, we

uploaded the folder containing the

virus. By 1301, we had lost control of

our entire operating bay. All the

screens from our main concourse to our

counter facilities went black, then

turned to a page of scrolling numbers.

Everything was changed. Passcodes,

platforms locations

everything.

The rest is history.

>> So, what went wrong?

>> No way to know for sure, but if I had to

guess,

I'd say they made it a little too smart.

They gave it a mind of its own, and it

decided to use it. You see, we never

opened the source file.

>> So then who did?

>> It opened itself.

>> You tell me this thing is alive.

>> I'm just telling you what I saw.

>> How do we kill it?

>> It's not that simple.

>> How do we kill it?

>> We don't. We disarm it. If we turn off

the machines and we take away his

ability to strike,

>> keep talking.

>> Easy.

[Music]

The machines were designed to operate

under a signal just like a SCO device,

remote control.

Each one with its own receiver.

If you knock out the receiver, you knock

out the machine.

But if we can knock out the signal,

we can take down a whole sector.

>> Where are the signals coming from?

>> Control stations, system of servers, and

satellite communications equipment. So,

why don't we strap it with a block of C4

and blow it clear out of the sky?

>> Because we have to find them first.

That's been our problem all along. The

original towers have been cut off and

now operates under its own stations. But

if we can capture a data drive from one

of the drones, we may be able to access

flight data or records from the inner

CPU. There has to be something linking

the machines to the signal source.

So, what's our next move, cowboy? I saw

intelligence equipment in one of your

units. Is it functional?

>> Yeah, I mean it's it's a little

outdated, but it's functional.

>> Will the portrait an external drive?

>> Last I checked.

>> Then we need to capture a data drive and

see if we can search the slogs. The

>> hell do you mean capture a data drive?

>> We go hunting.

>> What is he nuts?

>> When?

>> Yesterday.

For all we know, this location's already

been compromised. No, if it knew, we'd

be dead already.

We should leave in the morning. The

machines have night vision. We don't.

>> First light, locked and strapped by 0700

hours. I'm going to need another

shooter. Someone knows what they're

doing. We're only going to get one shot.

>> I'll go.

>> Don't let those perky tits fool you.

She doesn't mess around.

>> I hope you're right.

Otherwise, we're dead.

How did this happen?

You said this could never happen.

We were all

Jack,

help me.

You know, it's not polite to read

someone's hard

I'm doing what any smart soldier would

do.

>> And what's that?

>> Researching the enemy.

>> Is that what you think I am? The enemy?

The RCT

was meant to be used on opposing ground

troops who would strap on the prisoners

of war, then send them back out to the

field, watch them fight against the lone

regime.

>> Are you proud of this?

>> We built them to keep soldiers like you

off the battlefield.

>> Is that what they told you?

>> The cerebrum controller C1. What's it

do?

>> It was also meant to control the

physical functions of the host.

>> You mean slave?

>> But unlike the RCT,

it also had the ability to read and

control something else.

>> What?

>> They're mind.

>> You think you're smart, don't you? You

just don't get it.

>> We're trying to save lives.

>> You didn't save lives. Take a look

around. You destroyed them.

Oh,

>> I think we're better off staying next to

the rocks,

>> right? A little more cover in case some

goes wrong.

>> And we'll need something with a lot of

firepower.

50 cal won't get it done.

>> Got grenades.

>> Don't.

>> Maybe something with

a little more accuracy.

What about a rocket launcher?

>> That should work.

[Laughter]

Heat up

here.

Heat.

Heat.

Nice shot.

Keep an eye out. There could be more

close by.

Okay.

Okay. Okay. We got a live one.

They're so private, aren't they?

Let me see.

Now we wait for what? The script to run

its course. It's checking the drone's

access code against the list of possible

combinations.

And uh what if it doesn't have it?

>> Very unlikely.

file has over 750 trillion characters

and it runs 16 line attempts per second.

Trust me, it'll find it.

>> Five bricks, enough to blow up a small

village. How much you want?

>> All of it.

>> I thought you well, Lieutenant.

>> Any word on the logs?

>> Still working on it.

Reminds me of the good old days back in

' 68. Back when we kept real. None

of this technology

Back when the world was right.

[Music]

Hey. Hey.

I said, "Do you copy?"

>> Yes, sir.

>> Good.

Front office, 1,700 hours. I want this

locked down tight. Want everybody

on the same page?

>> Checked against a quarter of his dead

already. It

>> turns out that uh we're we're dealing

with a multi-layered access code. So,

we've already cracked one.

>> Be English.

>> It means that the the script is working.

It won't be long.

>> Okay. Until then, we can continue to get

done. Kilmore, assuming we get the

location, what's the plan?

We get in, set the detonators, and get

out.

>> That's it.

No more machines.

>> Now, within the station's control

radius, approximately 500 miles.

>> So, what you're saying is there's still

routes, not in our backyard.

>> Correct.

>> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

500 miles.

So, all this hard work that we're doing,

putting our asses on the line, and best

case scenario is that we slow it down.

>> It's a start, man.

>> That's right.

It's a start. We'll at least have the

ability to restock, relocate, then

prepare for another advance.

>> What about getting inside? How do you

navigate those machines?

>> Shoot them.

>> Shouldn't be an issue. It's going to

keep the control base hidden. Very

unlikely to come across any drones or

cyborgs. At least not on the exterior.

>> Uh-huh. And And what about the interior?

>> Best question.

We're going to have to move fast.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. Okay.

[Music]

Hey

Did I wake you?

>> No.

God,

>> can I sleep with you tonight?

>> Of course, sweetie.

Scared of dreams again.

>> I'm sorry, sweetie.

>> Can I ask you a question?

>> Yeah, you can ask me whatever you want.

You're not going to leave me, are you?

>> Of course not.

>> What would you say something like that?

>> Promise.

>> Crossfire.

What's wrong?

You know, I used to have a daughter who

looked just like you.

>> Really?

>> Yeah.

>> What was your name?

>> Her name is Becca.

She's the one who made this for me.

>> Really?

>> Mhm.

>> Where's she now?

She's in.

[Music]

Hey, that skinny kid with glasses was

looking for you.

>> What did he say?

Said he was looking for you.

You can feel it, can't you?

Blood in the air.

Feels good.

[Music]

You know what any of this

means?

>> Yeah,

it means we still have a chance. Those

are the coordinates for EC Corp's head

it's impossible. Ground zero's leveled.

Checked the gear again last night. Looks

like the colonel was off. We had no C4,

no detonators, no grenades, and ammo's

low.

We have to get inside

to shut it down by hand.

>> It's over, isn't it?

>> We never had a chance against them.

There's going to be a lot of activity

for the next hour or so and it should

die down at least enough to make a run

things.

I'm getting you out of here.

>> Oh, Jack, it's too late for me now. Look

you.

Jack,

you look like you just saw a ghost.

I can assure you I'm alive and well.

You look confused, Jack.

Well, I guess that's to be expected. It

>> was you.

>> This was all you.

>> No, not just me.

You see, Jack, there's a group of us

that saw a widespread epidemic beginning

to spiral out of control. Thus, we took

it upon ourselves to do something about

it.

>> What are you talking about?

>> Talking about the future, Jack. I'm

talking about the corporations that ran

this world. Corporations like XC Corp,

just too powerful,

too reckless.

You see, Jack, we've been studying the

trends for years now. All in an effort

to forecast the path of our society to

try to figure out where it was all

going.

And what we discovered, well,

was troubling. You see, there comes a

point where technology becomes

dangerous. It becomes a a disease that

grows and spirals out of control if left

untreated. Well,

it can destroy everything.

Therefore, it must be stopped and

everything that it has infected

must be killed. Do you see where I'm

going with this, Jack?

>> You're insane.

>> Come on, Jack. I'm not insane.

I'm a realist. The numbers don't lie.

You know that. We've added it all up.

And it became clear we had to act now or

the age of man would cease to exist.

Replaced by the age of machine,

an age of artificial intelligence.

You know that virus we sent you, it was

never meant to infiltrate the enemy's

main frame. It was meant to infiltrate

yours. We needed an army, Jack. An army

that would listen and obey our command,

never second guessess an order. An army

that was capable of the task at hand.

>> What task? To cleanse the earth, to

start over.

I can see you're upset.

Look, I've always liked you, Jack. All

right. And I'm sorry I had to come to

this, but it's important you know it was

never personal.

I find it very personal, Mr. President.

Sorry you feel that way.

[Music]

>> I wouldn't do that if I was you, Jack.

That system is the only thing keeping

your sister alive.

>> Don't listen to him, Jack. There's

nothing you can do for me now.

I think I'm already dead.

Think about it, Jack. At best you

machines. We will find you.

Yeah. Heat.

You're impossible, Jack.

[Music]

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

You're not going to leave me, are you?

[Music]

Of course.

Why would you say something like that?

Cross.

You

You haven't seen anything yet. Heat.

[Laughter]

[Music]

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

You came back.

I promised you I would.

I buried what was left. The bodies still

loaded her gear.

And though our future may look grim at

best,

one thing is certain,

we will never give up, never stop

fighting. Cuz somewhere out there,

there's a group of men that took it upon

themselves to play God.

And now they all die.

Heat. Heat.
