What Ex Machina Is All About
The plot follows Caleb, a young programmer portrayed by Domhnall Gleeson, who wins a major company lottery. His prize? A week-long stay with his enigmatic CEO, Nathan (played by Oscar Isaac), the brains behind the world’s biggest search engine, Bluebook.
However, the trip is no ordinary getaway. Upon arriving at Nathan’s secluded estate, Caleb learns that his boss has been secretly developing a revolutionary artificial intelligence—an incredibly lifelike female android named Ava, played by Alicia Vikander. Caleb’s task is to determine whether Ava possesses genuine consciousness by subjecting her to a Turing Test.
As Caleb spends more time with Ava, an emotional bond begins to form between them. But things take a darker turn when she starts to warn him about Nathan, who gradually reveals a more sinister side. The less said beyond this point, the better—Ex Machina is best experienced with as few spoilers as possible.
