In the near future, you don’t play the game—you are the game.

Gamer (2009) is a high-octane, dystopian sci-fi action film set in a future where mind-control technology allows real humans to control other people in deadly virtual reality games. Society is hooked on a violent multiplayer combat game called “Slayers,” where death row inmates fight for survival, controlled by players in the outside world. The ultimate prize? Freedom—if they survive long enough.

Kable (Gerard Butler) is the top warrior in the game, controlled by a teenage gamer prodigy. But Kable has a secret: he was framed and imprisoned, and now he’s determined to break free, expose the system, and take down the twisted tech mogul behind it all. As the lines between real and virtual blur, Kable must fight for his life—not just in the arena, but for the future of humanity itself.
Slick, violent, and packed with adrenaline-fueled sequences, Gamer is a gritty commentary on media, control, and the darker side of entertainment.
