M3GAN (which stands for Model 3 Generative Android) is a life-like doll powered by artificial intelligence that's designed to serve as a child's best friend. But when the doll's developer, Gemma (Allison Williams), decides to test the prototype on her own niece, M3GAN becomes overprotective, leading to dangerous consequences.
