"Disobey, and you die." - A.R.I.A.
Jerry Shaw, a hapless nobody 
caught up in the cogs of domestic intrigue. He has just returned home to New York after his brother’s funeral, and stops at an ATM where he discovers his normally empty bank account now contains $750,000. As anyone would, he withdraws as much as he can fit in his pockets and heads home, wondering what the hell is going on. He arrives at his dinky apartment to find it too is no longer empty. It is now full, with all the chemicals and weaponry one might need to commit a major act of terrorism. His phone rings. A mysterious voice on the other end warns him he has only seconds to leave his apartment before the FBI arrives to arrest him. Jerry ignores the warning and in shock remains rooted to the floor until moments later when the FBI’s foot soldiers come crashing through his window and drag him off to jail.
Jerry doesn't stay in jail long, and soon the mysterious voice on the phone is directing him on an unknown mission of unknown intent. The caller controls not only his cell connection, but seemingly every other piece of technology on the planet. The voice pairs him up with a mother named Rachel, who is forced to cooperate lest the voice murder her son.
Reflection:
The movie is a total manipulation of human beings. The caller controls everything where you have you no escape once they chose you. If you did not cooperate, it is a suicide because the machine knows your every detail. The movie portrays how computer overpower humans.
