In a secluded research facility buried deep within the forest, science has created something new—something neither fully human nor entirely machine. Morgan is not just a being. She’s a question the future may regret asking.
When a violent incident leaves a team member hospitalized, corporate risk manager Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) is dispatched to assess the viability of the project: Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy), a genetically engineered hybrid with artificial DNA and a rapidly accelerated intelligence. Created to be the next step in evolution, Morgan is brilliant, articulate—and unpredictable.
What begins as an investigation slowly unravels into a moral crisis. As Lee probes deeper, the line between subject and creator blurs. The scientists who raised Morgan see her as a child. The company sees her as a product. But Morgan has her own perception—shaped by isolation, fear, and the quiet rage of being both loved and controlled.
When containment fails, all logic falls away. The facility becomes a battleground of survival and identity. Who is the real danger—the creation, or those who shaped her? And when intelligence evolves faster than morality, who decides what’s truly human?
With clinical precision and icy tension, Morgan delivers a chilling meditation on artificial life, emotional manipulation, and the terrifying cost of playing god. Anya Taylor-Joy’s restrained, eerie performance anchors the film in an unsettling realism that lingers long after the final frame.
Is Morgan the future of humanity—or its greatest mistake? And when we build something to feel, can we blame it for fighting back?
