Today's awesome ACTION movie idea!
WarGames II: Joshua's Revenge
It is 23 years later and David Lightman is the Director of Intelligent Computing for the civilian segment of NORAD. Dr. John McKittrick, who recruited David after the infamous incident in 1983, has been "dead" for 5 years. David is now in charge and is working on new theoretical systems far superior to the old familiar WOPR system.
During David’s latest efforts to test the integration of some of the new systems with the old legacy systems, it was discovered that the root program for the WOPR (aka.: Joshua) was stored away and never actually terminated or deleted. In fact, Joshua has been playing his games in a contained cyberspace ever since... and learning at an exponential rate.
When one of David's technicians inadvertently "releases" Joshua’s program, he emerges far more advanced and intelligent and now he is ready to replay and, this time win, his game of Global Thermonuclear War. Only this time he knows he can't just play the game, he has to make it real.
Dr. Steven Falken, who is now 75 years old, is called in to help bring the world back from extinction. Falken quickly discovers that Joshua never really “thought” that "the only winning move was not to play." Instead, Falken learns that Joshua planned all along that his next move would be to lay low, re-strategize, study the enemy and plan a stealthy attack meant to shock and awe them into total submission or eventual destruction no matter what the initial senario was called.
Except, now Joshua has taken sides not against the Russians… but against all of humanity. HELL YEAH!
