About Atlas
Atlas tracks a brilliant counterterrorism analyst who has built walls around her professional life after painful experiences with automated systems. She distrusts artificial intelligence, preferring human insight and careful planning. When a mission to capture a rogue robot spirals out of control, she realizes that a path through the crisis may hinge on the very technology she distrusts. The clock is ticking as data floods in and the team scrambles to contain the threat, interrogating moral questions about autonomy, surveillance, and control. Her expertise becomes the difference between capture and catastrophe, yet every choice tests her belief in machines and in the people she leads. The story blends fast paced action with a tension between human judgment and the promise of intelligent systems, without surrendering to easy answers. Questions about control, ethics, and trust linger as the credits approach.
Directed by Brad Peyton Atlas is a 2024 science fiction action film created by Aron Eli Coleite and Leo Sardarian. Jennifer Lopez plays Atlas Shepherd, a hard nosed analyst who distrusts AI, while Simu Liu portrays Harlan Shepherd and Sterling K Brown is Colonel Elias Banks.
