Official poster for Alex Garland’s Ex Machina starring Oscar Isaac

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

The official U.S. one-sheet for Alex Garland’s upcoming sci-fi thriller EX MACHINA has debuted, and we’ve got it right here. Hope you appreciate robot butt. The film will have its North American Premiere out of the SXSW Festival on Saturday, March 14th, before hitting theaters in April.

Here’s the synopsis:

Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company’s brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac).

Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test—charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated––and more deceptive––than the two men could have imagined.


EX MACHINA hits theaters in the U.K. on January 23, 2015. It hits the U.S. on April 10, 2015.
