The Major is the world’s strongest investigator. She is a cyborg, only her brain and some of her memories remain of her original body.
Who was I?
She grasps at the memory of a cyber-terrorism attack that shook the entire world. Astonishing facts have been hidden in her past…
The near future. The Major (Scarlett Johansson) is a unique cyborg whose brain is the only part left of her original body. Her life was saved after a miserable accident and turned into the perfect cyborg. She then devoted herself to stopping the world’s most dangerous cyber-terrorist. Some criminals have even more incredible strength and abilities, and start to hack into her brain. She leads the elite task force section 9 and confronts the cyber-terrorist organization. While she prevents the investigation, she gradually notices that her memory has been controlled and that her life was actually hacked rather than saved. She will stop at nothing to capture the criminals and prevent more victims.
