Synopsis: Gamer is a near-future action/thriller starring Gerard Butler (Kable) as the champion of an on-line game called "Slayers". Mind-control technology has taken society by storm and "Slayers" allows humans control other humans in mass-scale, multiplayer online game. With his every move tracked by millions, Kable's ultimate challenge is regaining his identity and launching an attack on the system that has imprisoned him. In 2034, mind-control technology has taken society by storm, and a multiplayer on-line game called Slayers allows gamers to control human death row prisoners in mass-scale deathmatches. Any inmate who lives through 30 matches wins his freedom. Simon (Logan Lerman) controls Kable (Gerard Butler), the on-line champion of the game, having won 27 matches and lived through them all. When a virus hacks into the video mainstreams broadcasting a message from an elusive rebel group, Simon is offered the chance to communicate with Kable while in-game, which is not allowed. After a stranger gives Kable a warning that the game's mastermind plans to kill him, Kable is broken out by using a truck in-game. Kable is taken to the rebels' leader (Ludacris) who explains that the mind control technology used on Kable and the other Slayers can potentially be used without discretion on anyone, potentially leading to the extinction of independent thought. He also gives Kable directions to where he can break his wife out of the mind control she is under. Kable arrives, and, after a brief shootout with security, manages to escape with his wife. While the rebels attempt to remove the cells from his wife's mind that make the mind control possible, Kable is taken into another room. The leader reveals that Kable was once a soldier, working on a future cellular control project. His friend was the first to receive the cell transplant. However, the owner of the game Slayers, a billionaire named Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall), decided to discover the true limits of the mind control. After forcing Kable to kill his friend, Kable is convicted of first degree murder. Some four years later, the game Slayers came out, with Kable as one of the leading stars. Kable is then informed that his daughter was with a foster family, which happens to be Castle himself. Kable infiltrates Castles' mansion, but is confronted by Castle who is singing and dancing to music, all the while forcing other death row inmates to dance along with him. After a brief fight between Kable and the inmates, Castle leads him into a room with a large basketball court. Castle reveals that he also received the transplant, however, the cellular structure in him allows him to control anyone else who has the cells. This is proven when, having obtained a knife, Kable attempts to kill Castle only to find himself frozen still. Castle then savagely beats Kable and brings in his wife and daughter. Meanwhile, rebel members manage to broadcast their confrontation all over the world. Kable is forced to crawl to his family, and Castle then attempts to force him to kill his own daughter. After a brief struggle of wills, Kable manages to move the knife away. Simon then returns in control of Kable and, using his controller software that he uses to control Kable in-game, Kable tricks Castle into using his controlling cells to stab himself in the stomach. After Castle dies, Kable requests for Castles' employees, who have been watching, to release the family from their control. They do this, and, with the words "Well played, Kable", depart. The movie then ends with Kable driving through a tunnel in Glacier National Park with his daughter and wife in the car. (Source: Golden Screen Cinemas Sdn. Bhd.) Download Gamer Movie 700MB
