 Milo (Ryan Phillippe)
is an idealistic young computer genius with an artist girlfriend
(Claire Forlani) and a golden future. He's about to launch a
start-up company with his friend Teddy, when he's recruited by
NURV (Never Underestimate Radical Vision), a multi-billion dollar
corporation, run by his professional hero, Gary Winston (Tim
Robbins). Winston takes a personal interest in Milo. He needs
his brilliance to stay ahead of the field in the race for convergence.
There is no second place. For Milo it's a dream come true, a
chance to become a legend in his own right. It's hard to disappoint
Teddy, but their offer is too good to refuse. With a talented
new colleague (Rachael Leigh Cook), Milo is soon caught up in
the exciting challenge of realizing Winston's vision. Winston
is an inspired mentor and no problem remains unsolved for long,
but new developments are brought to Milo with such speed and
frequency, he begins to doubt their source. Tragedy strikes and
Milo's doubts become suspicions. It looks as if the company will
stop at nothing to win. He investigates and the consequences
become more and more unnerving, until there is no one left to
trust and this twenty-first century David stands alone against
Goliath.
