Sci-fi movie Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, fighting artificial intelligence with Sam Rockwell

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, the plot of the movie

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is the upcoming sci-fi and drama movie. The plot focuses on a man from the future (Sam Rockwell) who travels to the past: here he recruits customers from a Los Angeles restaurant, who must help him fight a cynical artificial intelligence that threatens to destroy humanity.

“Hey, this is not a robbery. I come from the future,” the man shouts as he enters a restaurant. “You look like a homeless person, brother,” responds a customer who dresses as shabbily as he does.

“Artificial intelligence isn’t that thing yet,” says Janet (Zazie Beetz); “the situation gets much worse, honey,” responds Mark (Michael Peña). Fights with law enforcement follow. “I don’t want to sugar-coat it. You’re in for a really strange evening,” the man declares.
