In the year 2020, Elias van Dorne (John Cusack), CEO of VA Industries, the world’s largest robotics company, introduces his most powerful invention--Kronos, a super-computer designed to end all wars. When Kronos goes online, it quickly determines that mankind, itself, is the biggest threat to world peace and launches a worldwide robot attack to rid the world of the “infection” of man. Sixty years later, a small band of humans remain alive but on the run from the robot army. A teenage boy, Andrew (Julian Schaffner) and teenage girl, Calia (Jeannine Wacker), form an unlikely alliance to reach the mythical land of Aurora, where it is rumored mankind exists without fear of robot persecution. But does Aurora actually exist? And will they live long enough to find out?
