Her - Official Trailer 2
Video
Warner Bros. Pictures Warner Bros.
Set in the Los Angeles of the slight future,
"Her" follows Theodore Twombly, a complex, soulful man
who makes his living writing touching,
personal letters for other people.
Heartbroken after the end of a long
relationship,
he becomes intrigued
with a new, advanced operating system,
which promises to be an intuitive entity
in its own right, individual to each
user.
Upon initiating it,
he is delighted to meet
"Samantha," a bright, female voice,
who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly funny.
As her needs and desires grow, in tandem
with his own,
their friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other.
From the unique perspective
of Oscar-nominated filmmaker Spike Jonze
comes an original love story
that explores the evolving nature—and the risks—
of intimacy in the modern world.
