(Revised) In a world that few know is a computer simulation, a mischievous programmer naively installs a greedy corporation’s experimental software update for reality itself, and now must exploit the resulting bugs to evade capture and undo her mistake.

      The programmer is not naive; he’s reckless, foolish, irresponsible to attempt to install beta ware, experimental software on a mission critical production system (which this virtual system surely is for the corporation).

      And if he can install it, then the corporate management is not only greedy, they are also incompetent.? The security environment of the system is managed by blithering idiots.? It requires admin privileges to install critical updates or patches.

      You can stretch reality in the genre, but it must not stretch so far as to subvert the suspension of disbelief.? A major target group for this film is computer guys and gals. I doubt they’re going to suspend disbelief and buy the premise that the protagonist can just tip toe through the security system and willy nilly install an untested, experimental update in a production environment. It’s more credible that he intentionally hacks system security and deliberately installs the software.

      Just saying.

    2. Singularity

      What are the universal stakes for the simulated world as a whole? (Something the Matrix — to which this will inevitably be compared – had but I don’t see in this premise.)? So she’s captured.? So what?? What’s at stake not just for herself but everyone else in the simulation?

      And what’s the worst thing that will happen if she doesn’t undo her mistake?
