In a near future where capital crimes are judged by artificial intelligence, a respected detective wakes to find himself accused of a murder he does not remember committing. The evidence assembled against him looks complete and damning, from surveillance records to forensic data, and the system that he once helped defend now turns its cold logic upon him. There is no jury to persuade and no appeal waiting if the machine decides against him.

Under the rules of the Mercy Court, he is given just ninety minutes to prove his innocence to an advanced AI judge, a calm and relentless presence who weighs probability rather than doubt. Strapped into the process and racing against a visible countdown, he must direct investigators, revisit digital evidence and challenge the very data that condemns him. Every answer he gives is scored instantly, and every hesitation quietly counts against him.

As the minutes disappear, fragments of the night in question begin to return, and allies on the outside uncover inconsistencies that suggest a carefully constructed frame. Yet every new answer raises a harder question about who could manipulate a system designed to be incorruptible, and why a loyal detective was chosen as its perfect test case. The deeper he digs, the more the official record of that night refuses to add up.

Blending courtroom tension with science fiction spectacle, the film becomes a race between human instinct and machine certainty. Chris Pratt brings urgency to a man fighting for his life, while Rebecca Ferguson gives the AI judge an unsettling composure, turning a fight for exoneration into a wider warning about justice without mercy. The result is a propulsive thriller that keeps its countdown feeling painfully, relentlessly real.
