In desperation, Evelyn comes up
with a plan to upload Will's consciousness into the quantum computer that
the project has developed. His best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), also a researcher, questions the wisdom of this
choice. Will's consciousness survives his body's death and requests to be
connected to the Internet to grow in capability and knowledge. Max panics,
insisting that the computer intelligence is not Will. Evelyn forces Max to
leave and connects the computer intelligence to the Internet via satellite.
Max is almost immediately
confronted by Bree (Kate Mara), the leader of R.I.F.T.
(Revolutionary Independence From Technology). Max is captured by the terrorists
and eventually persuaded to join them. The government is also deeply suspicious
of what Will's uploaded persona will do and plans to use the terrorists to take
the blame for the government's actions to stop him.
In his virtual form, and with
Evelyn's help, Will uses his new-found vast intelligence to build a
technological utopia in a remote desert town called Brightwood, where he
spearheads the development of groundbreaking new technologies in the fields of
medicine, energy, biology and nanotechnology. But even Evelyn begins to grow fearful of
Will's motives when he displays the ability to remotely connect to and control
people's minds after they have been subjected to his nano-particles.
FBI agent Donald Buchanan (Cillian Murphy), with the help of government scientist Joseph
Tagger (Morgan Freeman), prepares
to stop the technological singularity from spreading. As Will has spread his
influence to all the networked computer technology in the world, R.I.F.T
develops a computer virus with
the purpose of deleting Will's source code, killing him and, as a necessary
side effect, destroying technological civilization. All the characters, Bree,
Max, Tagger, Evelyn, and even Will Caster himself, are forced to choose between
uploading the virus or risking assimilation into Will's Transcendence, which
holds the promise of ending pollution, disease, and human mortality.
When Evelyn goes back to the
research center, she is taken aback seeing Will in a newly created organic body
identical to his old one. Will welcomes her but is instantly aware that she is
carrying the virus and intends to destroy him. The FBI and the activists of
R.I.F.T. attack the base with mortars, fatally wounding Evelyn. Will is given
the choice between healing Evelyn's body, or protecting her by uploading her
mind as she did his, which will also infect him with the virus. After being
threatened by Bree to upload the virus or see his friend Max die, Will
hesitates. Evelyn tells Will that no one should die for their mistake. Thus,
Will chooses to spare the people he loves instead of saving technological
civilization. As Will is dying he explains to Evelyn that he did what he did
for her: saving the planet was her wish, to learn the secrets of the universe
was his. Evelyn then realizes it was Will all along and whatever he did was
actually all for her. Then the virus kills both Will and Evelyn, and a global
technology collapse and blackout ensues.
Three years later, in Will and
Evelyn's garden outside their old home in Berkeley, Max notices that their
sunflowers are the only blooming plants within it. Upon closer examination, he
notices that a drop of water falling from a sunflower petal instantly cleanses
a puddle of oil — and realizes that the Faraday cage has also protected a
sample of Will's nano-particles.
