Netflix is gearing up for the release of its action-adventure film 'Atlas' which is set to release on May 24, 2024. 'Atlas' is a new action movie on Netflix starring Jennifer Lopez as a data analyst stranded on a distant planet to protect life on Earth.
After her return to action in Netflix's summer blockbuster 'The Mother', Lopez reaches new heights in 'Atlas'. Her character is launched into orbit to defeat a rogue robot warrior with whom she shares a mysterious past.
When her mission spirals into chaos, Atlas must confront her fear of AI and join forces with it to save humanity.
What is the plot of 'Atlas'?
'Atlas' follows Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez), a brilliant but antisocial data analyst who distrusts artificial intelligence. However, when she joins a mission to capture a renegade robot, she realizes the only way to save humanity's future from AI is to trust it.
“I loved that this is a big sci-fi action movie, but at its core, it’s a story of friendship — and a love story, in a way,” she told Netflix Tudum. “I always see everything as a love story, but this is a different kind of love between two beings who connect in disastrous circumstances, and teach each other how to be more human.”
The plot synopsis similarly reads, "A brilliant counterterrorism analyst with a deep distrust of AI discovers it might be her only hope when a mission to capture a renegade robot goes awry."
