Directed by David Christopher Pitt, the sci-fi thriller film ‘Winter: Battleground’ centers on how in a near-future America ruled by artificial intelligence, one man refuses to submit. Winter, a former soldier turned renegade, hides deep in the forest guarding a stolen virus capable of destroying the corrupt AIs controlling the military. When his former brother-in-arms leads an elite team of cybernetically enhanced assassins to hunt him down, Winter launches a deadly guerrilla war of traps, ambushes, and raw survival. As combat satellites enforce outlawed human speech and soldiers fall under the influence of corrupted machine code, allegiances fracture and the true madness of the ruling AI is revealed. Joined by a fellow rebel and a tech expert who turns against the system, Winter races toward a final confrontation that will decide the future of human freedom.
‘Winter: Battleground’ stars Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone as Winter, Johnny Messner as Jacob, Kayleigh Gilbert as Alex, and Jeffrey Decker as Two Bit.
