The story goes on to reveal the powerful artificial intelligence known as "The Entity," who is the final antagonist of the movie. The Entity has become self-aware and uncontrollable, having the capabilities to manipulate information and technology on a huge scale, creating worldwide chaos. While Ethan and his team are tasked to stop the entity from falling into the wrong hands, there are various factions, including government agencies and mercenaries, who are aiming to get the AI for their personal agendas.


In a race-against-time scenario, Ethan and his team are seen moving across various countries to obtain the two interlocking keys needed to access the Entity's source code. While he goes on with his mission, the story brings in a ghost from Ethan’s past, Gabriel, who is shown as a worker for the AI entity.
