Tau (film)

Julia is kidnapped from her house in the middle of the night, after which she comes to life connected behind bars with two other people who have implants in the back of their head. An unknown person conducts a number of cruel psychological experiments with her. She manages to steal the scissors and she tries to escape. In the process, two other prisoners are killed and she is stopped by a robot controlled by Tau's artificial intelligence.

She learns that the owner of the house is Alex, and that with the help of implants he collects information about neural activity during tests for the subsequent development and training of artificial intelligence. Since Alex needs to get the project to the deadline within a few days, he forces Julia to participate in additional experiments controlled by Tau, while at the same time giving her relative freedom of movement around the house. Alex leaves the house every day, and Julia in the course of communication with Tau understands that he is interested in reality outside the house, and that artificial intelligence does not know anything about it. She tells Tau about the world in exchange for information about experiments and the device at home.

Upon learning that removing the implant will kill her, Julia attacks Alex with a knife, but he manages to defeat her, after which he forces Tau to beat Julia. The next day, Julia persuades Tau to release her, but she returns when Alex punishes Tau, removing all his memory. When Alex tries to remove the implant from her, Julia manages to free herself with the Tau mini-drone that was disconnected before the memory was deleted. She activates the self-destruction process, which destroys the house and kills Alex in the process. Julia manages to survive, and she promises to show the world to the mini-drone with Tau.
