"The film's story revolves around OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever and his betrayal at the hands of Sam Altman and Silicon Valley, exploring the tumultuous five-day period when Altman was fired and rehired."
"The script is a straightforward indictment of the reckless culture behind the commercialization of artificial intelligence, depicting Altman as a liar and a master schemer."
