Lucy is a new action thriller written and directed by French filmmaker Luc Besson.
Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) is a student living in Taiwan who is tricked by her boyfriend into delivering a briefcase to a business contact. Before she knows what is happening, Lucy is grabbed and held hostage by the merciless Mr Jang (Choi Min Sik).
Jang surgically implants a package loaded with a powerful synthetic substance into Lucy. Along with a few other unwilling hosts, she is sent to the airport with the objective of flying across the world as a transport vessel for material that is priceless to her kidnappers.
When the chemical is accidentally unleashed in Lucy’s system, her cerebral capacity is unlocked to starling levels. As she attempts to comprehend the incredible changes in her mind and body, Lucy begins to develop superhuman traits such as telepathy, expended knowledge and control over matter.
While the substance continues to awaken and unlock every dormant corner of her mind, Lucy races across the planet to enlist the help of Professor Samuel Norman (Morgan Freeman) whose decades of research on the brain’s potential makes him the only person with the ability to see where Lucy’s situation might lead.
Catch the action and drama when Lucy opens in local cinemas on August 28.
