Kara Wade (Jessica Biel), Henry
Purcell (Jamie Foxx), and Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas) are three highly ranked U.S.
Navy pilots who are part of a top-secret project involving the next generation
of stealth fighter technology, the Talon Jet. Wade, Purcell, and Gannon are
surprised when their commander, Captain George Cummings (Sam Shepard),
introduces them to the new member of their team, "Edi," an "extreme deep
invader" developed as part of the "Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle" program.
Utilizing the latest innovations in artificial intelligence, Edi is a
computer-based flight controller that will take over the wingman's position in
the team's formation, and while the pilots initially balk, Edi performs
admirably in its first mission. However, after Edi is struck by lightning on a
return trip, the computer's circuits and software begin to change in unexpected
ways, and Edi not only begins to think for itself, it begins to violate direct
orders. During a mission investigating the forces of a dangerous extremist, Edi
starts an attack that could launch World War III, and it's up to Wade, Purcell,
and Gannon to stop both Edi and its dangerous plan before it's too late.
