When Atlas joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past, those plans go awry, and her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.

The Atlas cast also includes Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Sterling K. Brown (This Is Us, American Fiction), Abraham Popoola (Extraordinary, The Curse), Lana Parrilla (Once Upon a Time), Mark Strong (Sky One’s Temple) and Gregory James Cohan.
