Jared Leto stars in this third instalment of the sci-fi action franchise directed by Joachim Ronning. Dillinger Systems, led by CEO Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters), seeks to create virtual reality supersoldiers in The Grid and bring them into the real world. Ares (Leto) is Julian's crowning achievement, highly skilled and possessing super-strength and intelligence, but after 29 minutes in the real world, all of Dillinger's creations are reduced to dust.
Knowing that ENCOM's current CEO Eve Kim (Greta Lee) has a way to keep them intact forever, Julian sends Ares after her but the longer he spends in the real world, the more Ares begins to question his creator. The cast also includes Gillian Anderson, Jodie Turner-Smith and Jeff Bridges.
