But when a covert global organization discovers traces of her neural signature embedded in advanced technologies, they attempt to harness and weaponize her post-human abilities. This triggers Lucy’s unexpected partial return to physical form—reborn, unstable, and more powerful than ever.

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role with a new layer of vulnerability and cosmic detachment, portraying a being who is no longer fully human yet no longer omnipresent. Morgan Freeman returns as Professor Norman, whose research becomes the key to stabilizing Lucy before she collapses reality around her.

As governments, mercenaries, and rogue scientists fight to control the next step of human evolution, Lucy must face an impossible paradox: reclaim her humanity or ascend beyond it once more—at the cost of the world.
