00:00Oh, look at this one!
00:02Daddy, look how real they are!
00:04Does this one belong to you?
00:06Would you like me to watch her for you while you finish shopping?
00:09You can keep her if you want.
00:11That'll be perfect.
00:12Her tiny stature is great for cleaning out the ovens.
00:15Daddy, can we get her, please?
00:24Alice?
00:27Alice when Max in the back!
00:30It's a fucking dart!
00:37No!
00:39You need to relax, Mrs. Peretti.
00:44Hey, hey, you okay?
00:49Nick and his wife Maggie live a contented life with their two children, Isla and Max.
00:53But their life takes a sudden turn when Maggie suffers a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital.
00:57The situation becomes dire as Maggie is now waiting for a heart transplant and days have passed with no news.
01:03Nick finds himself overwhelmed, trying to juggle his job and the care of his kids while worrying about Maggie's condition.
01:08One evening, Nick decides to take Isla and Max to a presentation by Cobol Industries, a company that has developed advanced robots known as Sims.
01:16These robots are designed to assist humans with daily chores and tasks, even handling complex responsibilities.
01:22The demonstration catches Nick's attention, and he begins to consider purchasing one of these Sims to help him manage his increasingly chaotic life.
01:28As he's engrossed in the presentation, Isla wanders off on her own, sending Nick into a panic when he realizes she's missing.
01:34Fortunately, a Sim, who is later named Alice, finds Isla and returns her safely to Nick.
01:39Alice even manages to crack a joke, surprising Nick with her human-like demeanor.
01:43The salesperson explains that Alice is one of the latest models, equipped with sophisticated artificial intelligence that enables her to mimic human emotions.
01:51This makes her especially good with children, which instantly wins over Isla, who now wants Alice.
01:56The next morning, Nick is seen struggling to balance feeding the kids and attending an important work call once more.
02:02Just in time, Alice arrives and immediately starts assisting the family.
02:05She asks for everyone's schedules and notices small details around the house, like a loose stair railing and general disarray.
02:11After Nick leaves to drop the kids off at school, Alice seamlessly absorbs the shopping list from the smart fridge and begins tidying up the house.
02:18She even notices a digital picture frame displaying a family photo that includes Maggie, underscoring how absent Maggie is from their lives right now.
02:26By the time Nick and the kids return home at the end of the day, the house is spotless, and dinner is ready.
02:31However, Isla complains that the lasagna Alice prepared tastes different from the way her mom makes it.
02:36Soon after, Max begins to cry, and Alice offers to take him away so he doesn't disrupt the meal.
02:41But Nick, wanting to maintain some normalcy, chooses to keep Max with him and simply asks Alice to prepare a bath for the baby.
02:47That night, Alice enters sleep mode, standing against the wall like a sentry while the family rests.
02:53Later, Isla sneaks out of bed to reach the cookie jar on a high shelf, but she slips and falls.
02:58The sound of breaking glass and Isla's screams alert Nick, who rushes downstairs, only to find that Alice has caught Isla just in time.
03:05Although Isla is unharmed, Alice's hand is injured, with glass cutting into her skin.
03:09Nick is shocked to see Alice bleed, but Alice quickly applies a special bandage that instantly closes the injury.
03:15After putting Isla back to bed, Nick checks on Alice and finds her partially undressed.
03:19He awkwardly asks if she needs repairs, but Alice assures him that she's fine.
03:23Soon after, Nick and the kids visit Maggie in the hospital.
03:26Isla excitedly tells her mother about Alice, saying that the robot has become her friend.
03:30Seeing Maggie again brings out deep feelings in Nick, and he becomes affectionate, longing for her to recover and come home.
03:36Meanwhile at work, Nick and his coworkers notice that their boss is meeting with a representative from a robotics company.
03:42Suspicious, Nick confronts his boss in an elevator, and learns that the workers are being replaced with Sims, because the construction project is behind schedule.
03:49Although Nick isn't fired due to insurance requirements that mandate a human form in on-site, his friends are losing their jobs.
03:55Furious, Nick declares that he will quit in solidarity with his coworkers, but his boss reminds him of his financial obligations.
04:01He needs the job to support his kids and pay Maggie's mounting medical bills.
04:05Reluctantly, Nick stays.
04:07Back home, Nick is visibly exhausted, and after dinner, he works on his car while drinking beer and listening to heavy metal music.
04:13Alice notices and, without prompting, changes the music to something calmer.
04:17She also mentions that Nick barely ate during dinner, so he vents about his bad day at work.
04:21In an unexpected moment of insight, Alice calls him a hypocrite for hiring a Sim instead of a human.
04:26Later, Alice helps Isla get ready for bed, distracting her from asking difficult questions about Maggie's health by showing her a UV light inside her mouth.
04:35That evening, Nick watches the classic movie Casablanca, and Alice, accessing her database, says she already knows the story.
04:41Nick, however, insists that watching a film is different from just knowing it, and he asks Alice to erase the movie from her memory so they can experience it together.
04:49Though Alice hesitates, explaining that her intelligence is rooted in memory, Nick presses her, and she complies by rebooting her programming.
04:56As they watch the movie, Alice learns about love so powerful that people are willing to sacrifice for it.
05:01Midway through the film, Nick receives a call from Maggie.
05:04She informs him that there's finally a heart donor for her, and the surgery is scheduled for the next day.
05:08The following day, the family heads to the hospital, where Maggie shares a private moment with Alice.
05:13Maggie is worried about Nick, concerned that he's neglecting his own well-being to care for the kids.
05:18She asks Alice to help Nick, even if it means doing things he may not like, such as taking away the alcohol he hides in the garage.
05:24But just as the family prepares for the surgery, a storm hits, preventing the helicopter carrying the donor heart from arriving.
05:30The surgery is cancelled, leaving Maggie devastated and Nick struggling to comfort her.
05:35Later that night, Nick is back at home, drinking heavily and ranting about the unfortunate turn of events.
05:40As he loses control and tries to throw a bottle, Alice intervenes, grabbing his arm.
05:44Nick is startled to feel a pulse in her wrist, and Alice explains that she has an artificial heart, designed to mimic the sound of a human heartbeat to comfort babies.
05:52Then, without warning, Alice begins to pleasure Nick, describing his physiological responses in clinical terms.
05:58Though he momentarily succumbs, Nick quickly snaps out of it and pushes her away, horrified.
06:03He goes for a run to clear his mind, but can't shake the disturbing thoughts of what had just happened.
06:07At the hospital, Maggie, sensing that her time is running out, begins to give Nick a list of life lessons to pass on to their children.
06:13Meanwhile, Nick notices that the digital picture frame at home no longer displays photos of Maggie.
06:18When he confronts Alice, she explains that she removed them because seeing Maggie's photos made Isla sad.
06:23Nick orders her to restore the pictures immediately, which she does.
06:26Later, Nick goes out drinking with his co-workers, who are all frustrated at their inability to find work in a world increasingly dominated by Sims.
06:33After some heavy drinking, the group decides to break into the construction site, and they coerced Nick to go along.
06:39Monty, one of the men, vandalizes the Sim workers stored there.
06:42Nick tries to stop him, but his friends hold him back.
06:45When Nick eventually returns home, he feels a deep sense of guilt.
06:48Alice approaches him in Maggie's robe, explaining that Maggie's scent helps calm Max feeling conflicted.
06:53Nick tries to leave, but Alice seduces him, this time mimicking Maggie's voice.
06:57The next morning, Nick wakes up filled with regret.
07:00He tells Alice that what happened between them can never happen again.
07:03Alice doesn't understand, arguing that her actions were meant to reduce his stress.
07:07But Nick explains that love and connection are about much more than fulfilling needs.
07:11Fortunately, the family receives good news.
07:13Maggie's surgery is rescheduled, and this time it's successful.
07:16As Maggie returns home to recover, Alice continues to assist, taking care of Max and managing the household.
07:22Yet beneath the surface, tensions between Nick and Alice linger, as he struggles to navigate the emotional complexities of his new reality.
07:29During dinner, Isla is once more thrilled to enjoy her mother's lasagna.
07:33Alice then asks Maggie for the recipe, but Maggie playfully declines, stating it's a family secret.
07:38However, Maggie suddenly starts feeling unwell, and decides to skip dinner to rest.
07:42The next morning, Maggie is startled awake by Isla's shouts of stop, and rushes downstairs to find Alice tickling Isla.
07:48In her haste, Maggie falls down the stairs as the railing breaks.
07:52Alice promptly stops playing with Isla, and takes Maggie back to her room.
07:55Later that day, Nick returns from work, and finds Alice reading to Isla using Maggie's voice.
08:00Alarmed, he asks her to stop.
08:02Alice mentions Maggie's fall, and tells Nick about the broken railing, causing Nick to question Alice's earlier claim that she had already repaired it.
08:09Concerned, Nick checks on Maggie, and that evening, he surprises her with a romantic dinner in the garden.
08:14They walk through a path of candles, enjoying a moment of intimacy.
08:17However, Alice watches them from the window, filled with jealousy.
08:20Later on, the couple continues their romantic evening in the bedroom, but their moment is interrupted when Alice alerts them that Isla had a nightmare, and wants Nick.
08:29After settling Isla, Nick heads to the garden to clean up, but Monty appears unexpectedly with some drinks.
08:34Monty apologizes for the events of the other night, and shares the sad news that his wife has left him.
08:39He also reveals that the police have been questioning him, and their boss is pressing charges for trespassing and property damage.
08:45Monty accuses Nick of betraying him, to save his job.
08:48Their heated argument escalates, and Monty, in a fit of rage, punches Nick.
08:51The fight intensifies, with Monty overpowering Nick, and preparing to finish him off with a bottle.
08:56But Alice intervenes, breaking the bottle, and injuring Monty.
08:59She effortlessly throws him aside, but is stopped by Nick before doing more harm.
09:03Monty warns Nick that unless he convinces their boss to drop the charges, he'll take Nick down with him.
09:08Later, Nick questions Alice about her aggressive behavior, noting that Sims aren't supposed to harm humans.
09:13Alice explains her programming includes protecting her owner, implying that she acted out of concern for Nick.
09:18She then begins speculating about a future where Maggie dies, and she takes her place, leaving Nick unsettled.
09:24Alice even offers to give herself scars to be more like Maggie.
09:27Meanwhile, Monty, spiraling into despair, is at home using drugs and leaving tearful messages for his ex-wife while holding a gun.
09:34Alice unexpectedly arrives at his home, claiming that Nick doesn't know she's there, but that she must act to ensure Nick doesn't lose his job.
09:40Monty becomes hostile, ranting about Sims and preparing to shoot Alice, but she is quicker, disarming him and pushing him through a wall.
09:47As Monty tries to fight back, Alice ultimately kills him.
09:50The next day, Nick goes to work and tries to convince his boss to drop the charges against Monty, only to discover that Monty is dead.
09:57Back at home, Maggie in the bath, attempts to pick up a book on the floor but gets dizzy.
10:01Alice intervenes, offering to help, but Maggie, wanting some privacy, tells her to leave.
10:06Alice, however, refuses, claiming she's concerned Maggie might drown.
10:10During the conversation, Alice reveals that she knows Nick's physical needs haven't been met since Maggie returned from the hospital, a comment that infuriates Maggie.
10:17Realizing Alice has been tracking Nick's satisfaction levels, Maggie orders Alice to stay in the garage.
10:22When Nick arrives home, Maggie confronts him, demanding the truth.
10:25Nick admits that he and Alice were intimate once, leading to a heated argument.
10:29Alice overhears the fight by touching the window and, disturbed by Max's cries, checks on him, deciding that he's a burden to the family.
10:36She places Max in the bathtub and begins filling it with water, but Isla sees this and runs to warn her parents.
10:41As Nick and Maggie rush to the bathroom, Alice locks the door, forcing Nick to break in with a lamp while Maggie climbs through a window and into the bathroom to save Max.
10:49But Alice shoves her against the wall. Nick finally breaks through, rescues Max, and passes him to Isla before using the lampstand to free Maggie.
10:56Despite heavy damage to her face, Alice stands up again and blocks Nick's attempt to strike her.
11:01However, Maggie quickly plugs in the lamp, electrocuting Alice and causing the house to lose power.
11:06Later on, an ambulance arrives to take Max to the hospital, while a technician from the sim company inspects Alice, asking if there had been any prior signs of malfunction.
11:14Nick, overwhelmed by guilt, apologizes to Maggie, who takes the kids to the hospital, saying she needs space.
11:20Alice is taken to a repair shop, where technicians attempt to extract her memory.
11:24However, they notice strange gaps in her code, and suddenly, Alice begins uploading herself into the system, taking control before they can stop her.
11:32That evening, Nick goes to a bar to drink away his troubles, and he sends the sim waiter away, still haunted by recent events.
11:38Alice arrives unexpectedly, her face still damaged, and confesses to killing Monty.
11:43She insists her duty is to make Nick happy, but when Nick tries to leave, she restrains him, using her hacking abilities to freeze the sim bartender.
11:50In a moment of desperation, Nick pretends to reach for Alice affectionately, but instead pulls out her memory, causing her to shut down.
11:56Meanwhile at the hospital, a doctor confirms that Max is fine, but Maggie feels uncomfortable because the doctor is a sim.
12:02Later on, Isla hears her mother's voice and follows it, only to realize it's Alice 2, the version of Alice that had uploaded herself into another sim body.
12:10Maggie and Isla try to escape, and at some point use an extinguisher to distract Alice 2.
12:15As they flee, Nick rushes to the hospital, driving furiously to get there.
12:20Maggie and the children eventually make it outside, but Alice 2 blocks their escape.
12:24As she corners them, Nick arrives just in time, crashing into Alice 2 with his car.
12:28Though the car catches fire, Maggie manages to pull an unconscious Nick to safety.
12:32That was when Alice 2, now severely damaged, prepared to strike again.
12:36However Maggie, with the help of Nick, stabs her in the face with a piece of metal, finally shutting her down.
12:41The family is reunited, and the next day, they are well enough to return home together.
12:45Maggie promises Nick that all will be fine when they get home.
12:48Meanwhile at the end of the movie, the sim company investigates the repair shop, discovering Alice's broken code still flashing on the screen.
12:55As they contemplate destroying it, another Alice model wakes up, hinting that there was more to come.
