BETA TEST is a sci-fi action thriller thats’ been described as a “a cross between the intimate suspense of Die Hard and the 21st century chaos of Gamer.” It is  a suspenseful thought-provoking journey of greed, revenge, and the power of the video game in the 21st century. The film’s storyline revolves around Max Troy, a Seattle-based video game champion and game tester who is about to test the latest game sensation from global video game juggernaut, Sentinel. As Max begins his procedural dissection of the game, he begins to realize this new game is not like any other. As Max completes new tasks, events in the real world begin to mirror them. Soon, Max uncovers a deep-rooted conspiracy from within the walls of Sentinel, which leads him to discover that the game’s protagonist, Orson Creed, is a real man, in the real world. If Max can somehow join forces with Creed, together they may have a chance at unraveling this conspiracy before the tasks in the game escalate and overwhelm their city.
