Plot Synopsis:
Three Navy stealth pilots are assigned a new wingman; an experimental stealth plane piloted by an advanced AI named EDI. Despite reservations by the team, their commander pushes the experimental plane on them. They are assigned to an aircraft carrier where the AI observes and learns from the teams interactions, but after being struck by lightning, the AI rewrites itself, and goes rogue. The team are assigned to retrieve the plane, but when they try to destroy it, it kills one of the team, and damages another. The remaining team member continues to pursue EDI at the orders of his commander. EDI initially tries to kill him too, so that it can continue its chosen mission: destroying a fusion research facility in Russia. When EDI sustains some damage, the team leader convinces it to go to Canada with him for repairs. The commander is now keen to cover up his mistakes by having EDI erased, and the team leader killed. EDI is rescued from deletion by the leader, and they escape together, contacting the carrier's commander and alerting him to the situation with EDI and the actions of their superior. He later kills himself. EDI goes to North Korea, and arrives to rescue the downed team member, sacrificing himself as the remaining team escapes over the border into South Korea. The AI finally advanced itself enough to gain some humanity.
