The official trailer for Kill Code, the upcoming sci-fi action thriller formerly titled Hard Matter, has been released, offering a glimpse into a dystopian future where artificial intelligence controls life and death. Distributed by Quiver, the film combines high-stakes action, cybernetic warfare, and a chilling vision of technology gone wrong, setting the stage for an explosive summer release.
Set in a crime-ridden America following the Second Civil War, Kill Code follows the rise of Alpire Industries, a powerful corporation that claims to have created a path to lasting peace.

However, the system soon begins evolving beyond human control, creating a threat that could engulf society itself.
At the center of the story is Elera, played by Franzi Schissler, a cyber-enhanced operative who discovers the disturbing truth behind Alpire Industries’ operations. Once she uncovers the corporation’s dangerous agenda, Elera becomes its most wanted fugitive. Pursued by her former mentor, Eion Vass, she joins a rogue resistance movement determined to bring down Alpire’s central AI mainframe before humanity becomes the next target of the machine-driven system.
The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Harvey Keitel, Tyrese Gibson, Frank Grillo, Jacob Artist, Peter Stormare, Sescily Leon Connell, and Brett Cullen. The newly released trailer highlights intense action sequences, futuristic technology, and a battle between corporate power and human freedom, promising a fast-paced experience for fans of science-fiction thrillers.
Kill Code is written and directed by Justin Price and marks a rebranding from its earlier title, Hard Matter.
