Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Transcendence is a 2014 science fiction drama thriller from first-time director Wally Pfister with Christopher Nolan as executive producer. It stars Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy, Kate Mara, and Morgan Freeman.Dr. Will Caster (Depp) and his wife Evelyn (Hall) are artificial intelligence researchers. While Evelyn hopes that their work will lead to breakthroughs in medicine and repairing damaged environments, Will hopes to create a machine intelligent enough to discover the hidden truths of the universe. Their work is threatened by an anti-technology group known as RIFT, who set out to destroy everything the Casters and other AI researchers have worked to achieve.When Will is shot by a RIFT agent with a polonium-laced bullet, he, Evelyn, and their friend Max Waters (Bettany) attempt to upload his consciousness into their supercomputer to keep Will alive and continue his research. Doubts soon begin to surface as to whether they truly saved his mind or gave birth to a new intelligence.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Absolutely not related to the game. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Transcendence / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: The movie takes major liberties with how a Faraday cage works. Rather than being almost completely enclosed, in the movie merely being partially covered or surrounded by a copper wire mesh seems to be enough to completely block electromagnetic radiation. A particularly egregious example is near the end of the movie, where being surrounded by a two-meter tall copper wire fence is treated like it completely prevents radio signals from reaching inside the fenced-in area. | |
