PREPARE yourself the action suspense sci-fi thriller Lucy, staring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman.
The story goes that Lucy is a 25-year-old American woman living and studying in Taipei, Taiwan. She is tricked into working as a drug mule by her new boyfriend, whose employer is a Korean mob boss and drug lord named “Mr Jang”.
Lucy delivers a briefcase to Mr Jang containing a highly valuable synthetic drug called CPH4.
Lucy is captured and a bag of the drug is forcibly sewn into Lucy’s abdomen and that of others who will also transport the drug for sales in Europe.
While Lucy is in captivity, one of her captors kicks her in the stomach, breaking the bag, releasing a large quantity of the drug into her system.
As a result, she begins acquiring increasingly powerful mental talents and enhanced physical capabilities, such as absorbing information instantaneously, telekinesis, mental time travel, and can choose not to feel pain or other discomforts, in addition to other abilities.
She kills off her present captors and escapes.
