Before we get to the finale of "The Creator." though, let's do a quick recap. After being undercover in an Eastern resistance army, Joshua now heads back to the East for a new mission to help American forces find a new AI project from a mysterious guru known as Nirmata. When his team arrives at a lab holding the coveted AI, he finds that it's actually a simulant — the word the film uses for human-looking robots with AI programming — that appears to be a child. With Joshua believing that this child — who he names Alphie — can lead him to his estranged wife Maya (Gemma Chan), he takes Alphie on a journey to find Maya and the old rebellion he once betrayed.
Along the way, Joshua learns that Maya is actually Nirmata, and the nuclear bomb that kicked off this whole war against AI was due to human error. It also turns out that Alphie was created to destroy Nomad, but only to achieve peace since the AI don't really want to kill the humans. As their journey continues, Joshua becomes closer to Alphie, due to the love Maya poured into creating her as she is molded after Joshua and Maya's child. Unfortunately, by the time Joshua and Alphie reach Maya, she's in a coma, and they can only cut her life support to set her free. They do so, but are captured by American forces and now must enact a new plan to destroy the Nomad.
