Turing

A private organization has developed AI humanoids that are virtually indistinguishable from human beings, prompting the creation of their “Turing test.” The final natural method of differentiation lies in hand-to-hand combat, where the fight-or-flight response is triggered in humans but not humanoids. To successfully complete his program, Anthony Imanari (Jacob Bertrand) must undergo this unique Turing test.
