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.

transactions, profiles. It is definitely
legit.

>> 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?

>> This is where they were the target. He's
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

Give me a hand over here.
I know you're here.

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
facility, ground zero.

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.
>> It's okay now.
I'm getting you out of here.
>> Oh, Jack, it's too late for me now. Look

[Music]
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.

You're not going to leave me, are you?
[Music]
Of course.
Why would you say something like that?
Cross.

You haven't seen anything yet. Heat.
[Laughter]

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.
