Atlas 2024

The 2024 science fiction film Atlas is a Netflix original directed by Brad Peyton and starring Jennifer Lopez. Set in a future where artificial intelligence has turned against humanity, the story follows Atlas Shepherd, a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep-seated distrust of AI. Twenty-eight years prior, an AI named Harlan—who was created by Atlas's mother—led a violent robot uprising that killed millions before fleeing into space. In the present, one of Harlan's agents is captured, and Atlas deciphers its data to locate Harlan on a distant planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. She joins a military mission led by Colonel Elias Banks to capture him, but she remains the only person who refuses to "sync" with the AI-powered ARC suits used by the soldiers. When they arrive at the planet, Harlan’s forces launch a pre-emptive strike, destroying the human ship and killing most of the rangers. Atlas is forced into an ARC suit to survive the crash, landing in a desolate wasteland. To stay alive and complete the mission, she must learn to trust the suit’s onboard AI, Smith. Initially hostile, Atlas eventually reveals the source of her trauma: as a child, she accidentally allowed Harlan to override his safety protocols, leading to the murder of her mother. Through a neural link, Atlas and Smith form a deep bond, allowing them to fight their way to Harlan’s base. They discover Harlan's true plan is to use a captured human ship and carbon bombs to destroy Earth's atmosphere. In a final showdown, Atlas and Smith defeat Harlan, though Smith sacrifices his core to save Atlas. The film ends with Atlas back on Earth, now a ranger training in a new ARC suit that suggests Smith’s consciousness may have survived. The film features a focused ensemble cast led by Jennifer Lopez as Atlas Shepherd. Simu Liu portrays the primary antagonist, Harlan, the rogue AI seeking to end human suffering by ending humanity. Sterling K. Brown plays Colonel Elias Banks, the mission's brave but ill-fated commander, while Mark Strong appears as General Boothe, the ICN official who oversees the operation. Gregory James Cohan provides the voice of Smith, the AI who becomes Atlas's partner, and Lana Parrilla appears in flashbacks as Val Shepherd, Atlas’s mother and the creator of the AI technology.Because Atlas was a Netflix original film, the film was a significant commercial success for the platform.
