"The west has launched a war against AI. There's an insurgency, there's a rebellion, there's Special Forces that are infiltrating to try and find a weapon that AI has created that could end the war - and that's sort of the first five minutes," Soffer told On The Red Carpet.
John David Washington is the Special Forces agent recruited to hunt down and kill the creator of this warhead, only to find out the weapon is actually in the form of a small child.
Director Gareth Edwards looked to create a post-apocalyptic world where audiences could immerse themselves.
"Every decision on the cinematography side and the filmmaking side was designed to create an environment that would feel authentic and lived in and immersive and real," Soffer said.
