The official synopsis reads, “Amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua (Washington), a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife (Chan), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war … and mankind itself. Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory … only to discover the world-ending weapon he’s been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child.”

NCAA Men’s Basketball March to the Madness 2025: Schedule, storylines, matchups
UConn coach Dan Hurley puts his hands out and poses.

With the NFL season over, the sports world now moves to basketball. While the NBA still has multiple months before they crown a champion, college basketball is one month away from March Madness, the greatest tournament in sports. 68 teams will play in the NCAA Tournament, which starts on March 18. Fans will get a small taste of tournament action when teams conduct their conference tournaments at the beginning of the month.
The 2024-2025 season does not have a clear favorite to cut down the nets. Last season, UConn dominated the competition on their way to a sixth national title. In 2025, Auburn, Alabama, and Duke have consistently stayed near the top of the polls, but all three teams have their flaws. These next few weeks in February will go a long way in determining seeding on Selection Sunday.
Before conference tournaments begin, check out our March to the Madness preview, which highlights the top storylines and games for the rest of February.
NCAA Men’s Basketball: Storylines to follow leading into March Madness

After dominating football for the last 15 years, the SEC is now the top conference in college basketball. Nine SEC teams are in Week 15's AP Top 25 Men's College Basketball Poll, including five in the top 10. The top two spots belong to Auburn and Alabama, who will make history on February 15 when they become the first SEC teams ranked No. 1 and No. 2 to face each other. Bruce Pearl and Auburn are looking to return to the Final Four for the first time since 2019, while Nate Oats and Alabama are attempting to return to the Final Four for the second consecutive season.
Florida, Tennessee, and Texas A&M are the other SEC schools in the top 10 for Week 15. The Gators are a team that has big wins over Auburn and Tennessee. After a first-round exit in 2024, Todd Golden's Gators can make some noise in this year's tournament behind a trio of guards — Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin, and Will Richard.
Before losing to Clemson on February 8, the Duke Blue Devils had won 16 straight games. Duke is led by sensational freshman Cooper Flagg, who leads the Blue Devils in points (19.5), rebounds (7.7), and assists (4.0). Barring an epic collapse or injury, Flagg should become the first freshman since 2019's Zion Williamson to win National Player of the Year.
