In 2020, Elias van Dorne (John Cusack), CEO of the world’s largest manufacturer of robots, will present his most powerful invention to date: Kronos, a super-computer that is supposed to mean the end of all wars. But when Kronos goes online, it doesn’t take long for him to realize that the only enemy of the world-friend is man himself – and the computer launches a global robot attack to free the earth from the infection of mankind. 97 years later, only a small number of humans have survived, hiding day in day out from the killer machines. But the two teenagers Andrew (Julian Schaffner) and Calia (Jeannine Wacker) join forces to advance into an unknown world where it is said that there are no robots. They set off on an arduous and dangerous journey – but is their new homeland there at all?
