will smith joins sci-fi thriller resistor after bad boys hit

Jun 20, 2024 9:06 AM

Will Smith has made a triumphant return to the big screen with "Bad Boys: Ride or Die," grossing over $220 million in its first two weeks. Following this success, he's set to star in the sci-fi thriller "Resistor," an adaptation of Daniel Suarez's novel "Influx." The story revolves around physicist Jon Grady who discovers a gravity-reflecting device, only to be imprisoned by a covert organization aiming to control advanced technologies. Smith's involvement was confirmed shortly after the impressive box office numbers of his latest movie.

What is the plot of Will Smith's new movie "Resistor"?

"Resistor" follows physicist Jon Grady, who invents a device capable of reflecting gravity. His discovery prompts a covert organization, the Bureau of Technology Control, to imprison him in a high-tech facility. Grady and other captives must escape and reveal the hidden advancements withheld from humanity by this secret group.

Directed by the same studio that developed Smith's previous hits like "Independence Day" and "I, Robot," the new film "Resistor" will continue his legacy in the science fiction genre. Will Smith is also slated to return for "I Am Legend 2," expanding on the alternate ending of the original movie where his character survives.

Will Smith stepping back into the sci-fi genre with Resistor has got me hyped, especially with the studio behind Independence Day and I, Robot at the helm. Given his knack for choosing compelling roles, this adaptation could be another classic in his filmography, right alongside the likes of I Am Legend.
