Scarlett Johansson delivers a captivating performance, transitioning from a vulnerable human to an almost emotionless, transcendent being.

Lucy stars Scarlett Johansson as the titular character, a young woman living in Taipei. She is kidnapped and forced to become a drug mule for a powerful mob, with a dangerous synthetic drug implanted in her abdomen. When the bag inside her ruptures, the drug begins to enter her system, allowing her to access an increasing percentage of her brain's capacity. As she taps into more of her mental potential—passing the commonly cited 10% usage—she gains extraordinary abilities like telekinesis, control over electronics, and the power to absorb vast amounts of information in an instant.
