Four-time Golden Globe Award nominee and Emmy winner Armand Assante stars as Jean Perbost, Chair of Robotics at the University of Marseille, in Revival, bringing depth to this gripping war drama infused with the ethical dilemmas of AI. He mentors the brilliant Murat Arakelian (27–28), whose AI project, OR.CH.I.D., is poised to secure major investment from the Rossun Corporation. But Jean’s hopes are derailed when Murat abruptly abandons the project to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding his father’s death.
Traveling to Armenia amidst the outbreak of war and the pandemic, Murat and his girlfriend are caught in the chaos. To survive—and uncover the truth about his past—Murat must rely on his rapidly evolving AI creation. As OR.CH.I.D. develops self-awareness, it forces Jean to confront a harrowing truth: Rossun’s entanglement in war crimes. Now, Jean stands at a crossroads—protect his university’s legacy or expose the devastating truth uncovered by OR.CH.I.D.
