What does the Mercy trailer show?

The video features a world where an artificial intelligence is used to judge people for their crimes. It shows Pratt’s character as he gets accused of murdering his wife. In a short amount of time, he must find a way to prove his innocence to an advanced intellectual non-human being, who will provide him with the means to gather the evidence he needs. Failure to prove his innocence will result in his execution. The trailer also reveals that he was actually one of the people who helped create the A.I. judicial system.

Mercy is directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) from a screenplay written by Marco van Belle. This marks the latest collaboration between Pratt and the filmmaker after previously working together in 2008’s action thriller Wanted. The cast will also feature Annabelle Wallis, Kali Reis, Rafi Gavron, Chris Sullivan, Kenneth Choi, and Kylie Rogers. It is produced by Bekmambetov, Charles Roven, Robert Amidon, and Majd Nassif, with Mark Moran and Todd Williams serving as executive producers.

“90 minutes to prove your innocence or face execution,” reads the official synopsis. “In the near future, a detective (Pratt) stands on trial accused of murdering his wife. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to the advanced A.I. Judge (Ferguson) he once championed, before it determines his fate.”
