Hello friends, I'm here with another fascinating movie I watched titled Upgrade and I would like to share with you here.
The movie is about Grey, a technophobe, suffers paralysis and loses his wife during an attack. But when a billionaire hands him a chip in his body that restores his mobility, he sets out to get vengeance.
It begins In 2046, Grey Trace, an auto mechanic, lives with his wife Asha who works for Cobalt, one of the companies contributing to human-computer augmentations.
He asks his wife to help him return a refurbished car to his client, Eron Keen, a renowned tech innovator. While visiting his home, Eron reveals his latest creation, a chip called STEM that can manage a human’s motor functions.
Returning home, Their self-driving car malfunctions and crashes. Four men kill his wife and shoot him in the neck, severing his spinal cord.
He returns home months later as a wheelchair-using quadriplegic under the care of his mother, Pamela.
His wife's death and the inability of Det. Cortez to identify their attackers causes him to sink into depression. After a suicide attempt, he is visited by Eron, who convinces him to accept a STEM implant.
He regains control of his limbs and Eron has him sign a non-disclosure agreement, requiring him to pretend to still be paralyzed.
While looking through a drone video feed of his wife's murder, He hears STEM speak in his mind.
STEM says it can help him get revenge and quickly identifies one of the assailants, Serk Brantner from the video.
Grey breaks into Serk's home and finds proof Serk was “upgraded” through a secret military experiment, also connecting Serk to a local bar called the Old Bones.
Serk arrives and attacks Grey, but STEM convinces him to temporarily give up control of his body, allowing STEM to turn him into a lethally efficient fighting machine, killing Serk with little effort.
Cortez later sees drone footage of Grey’s wheelchair approaching Serk’s house, but his paralysis negates him as a suspect.
Eron has tracked STEM's movements and berates Grey for his vigilantism. He reveals STEM is speaking to him, which surprises Eron, who demands that he stop his investigation.
Grey proceeds to the Old Bones and finds another of the assailants. He allows STEM to torture him to death, first getting the name of the assailants' ringleader, Fisk.
Meanwhile, leaving the bar, he stumbles, and STEM informs him that Eron is attempting to shut them down remotely.
STEM directs him to a nearby hacker who manages to remove STEM's input guard, then leaves just as Fisk arrives. Grey, with STEM's control restored, murders Fisk's companions.
Grey returns home, only for her mother to see him walking, forcing him to reveal STEM's existence.
Cortez arrives to interrogate them after finding his wheelchair suspiciously abandoned at the Old Bones; she leaves after planting a listening device on Grey's jacket.
He wishes to give up the hunt, but STEM explains that Fisk will track them down and kill them. STEM reveals that the hack gives him free control of Grey’s body.
STEM uses Grey to drive to Fisk, causing an automated car to malfunction and crash into Cortez, who is tailing them. Cortez returns to Grey's home, where her mother explains STEM.
Grey and STEM find Fisk, who reveals he was only hired to paralyze him, so he could be implanted. Fisk’s own upgrades outpace Grey's movements.
Grey taunts Fisk with the death of his brother, allowing STEM to gain the upper hand and kill Fisk. Fisk's phone reveals messages from Eron, suggesting he'd orchestrated all the events.
Find out what happened next on Netflix as the movie gets more fascinating as the Grey was able to reveal messages from Eron suggesting he'd orchestrated all the events.
