Along with Kevin's loyal confidante, fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a perilous journey across a terrifyingly advanced neon-lit cyber universe created by Kevin himself, populated with state-of-the-art vehicles and weapons - and a ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape. Beau Garrett and Michael Sheen co-star.
