Trailer, poster and images for sci-fi thriller Mad Genius

June 9, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its VOD release next month, a poster, trailer and batch of images have arrived online for the upcoming sci-fi thriller Mad Genius. Directed by Royce Gorsuch, the film stars Chris Mason (Pretty Little Liars) alongside Spencer Locke and Faran Tahir; check them out here…

Mad genius and hacker, Mason Wells (Chris Mason, ”Pretty Little Liars : The Perfectionists”) has a mission to “hack the human mind” in order to save humanity, but first must reconcile his multiple alter egos. His most threatening alter ego, Finn (Scott Mechlowicz, Euro Trip) pushes Mason to do whatever is necessary to accomplish their mission including theft, bribery and intimidation.

As their mission reaches the brink of danger, they become hunted by a nihilistic madman named Eden after they steal his technology and discover that he is working on the exact same project that they are. Ultimately, Mason discovers the only way to defeat Eden may be the ultimate hack, one he never thought imaginable.
