"They created her to be perfect. What they forgot to control was her will."
A corporate risk-management specialist named Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) is dispatched to a secluded biotech facility to evaluate a groundbreaking hybrid—Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy)—an artificially grown humanoid with synthetic DNA and nanotechnology, who matured to a teenage body in just a few years .
Morgan exhibits intelligence and emotion beyond her creators’ expectations—but also sudden, chilling violence. After she brutally stabs a scientist in the eye, Lee must decide whether this prototype is worth saving or needs termination .
As the situation spirals, Morgan escapes containment and unleashes chaos—primal, cold, and efficient. In a final confrontation, Lee reveals herself as another prototype (L‑4), engineered for lethal risk control. She stops Morgan, yet her own humanity shows signs of breaking .
Luke Scott’s debut is strikingly atmospheric and anchored by a mesmerizing performance from Taylor-Joy, whose blend of innocence and menace keeps viewers unsettled . Critics, however, noted its familiarity to films like Ex Machina, calling it stylish but ultimately forgettable .
