The movie follows M3GAN, an artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally.
The android is designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma and can listen, watch, and learn as she becomes a friend and teacher, playmate, and protector, for the child she is bonded to.
When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady, Gemma is unsure and unprepared to be a parent.
Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair Cady with her M3GAN prototype in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
