Owen Wilson leads this sci-fi mystery as a recently divorced man unsatisfied with his harsh office job. Also stars Salma Hayek as a woman who convinces him that the world around him is nothing but a miserable simulation of the blissful reality hidden from him. From the writer-director of I Origins.
