The Thinking Game

The Thinking Game follows the extraordinary life of visionary scientist Demis Hassabis, tracing his journey from child prodigy and game designer to the founder of a cutting-edge AI lab determined to unlock artificial general intelligence. The film interweaves intimate moments—late-night code sessions, tense boardroom meetings, and personal sacrifices—with dramatic recreations of landmark milestones like AlphaGo, capturing the electric thrill of discovery and the heavy toll of relentless ambition. Through a mix of archival-inspired scenes and powerful performances, it brings to life the obsession, ingenuity, and doubt that drive one man and his team to push the boundaries of what machines can think.

More than a tech biopic, The Thinking Game probes the ethical and societal questions that arise when humanity edges closer to creating minds of its own. It frames scientific breakthroughs alongside public debate, corporate pressure, and the personal cost of chasing a global enigma, asking what it means to pursue intelligence at any price. By the final act the film leaves viewers both awed by human creativity and unsettled by the implications — a thoughtful, cinematic meditation on innovation, responsibility, and the future of thought itself.
