Summer Wars

Sunday, December 22

Teenage math prodigy Kenji stumbles upon the virtual world of Oz—a hallucinatory pixel parade of cool avatars, kung fu jackrabbits, toothy bears and a bursting rainbow of colors—that secretly regulates everything from online shopping and traffic control to national defense and nuclear launch codes. But when a devious AI program starts hijacking Oz accounts, sowing chaos and threatening real-life destruction in its wake, Kenji and his friends must prepare for a sci-fi showdown.
