When shy math prodigy and part-time moderator Kenji is invited by his crush Natsuki to spend the summer with her sprawling family, he expects an awkward weekend pretending to be her boyfriend. Instead, a rogue artificial intelligence steals his online identity, throws the virtual world OZ into chaos, and sets off a chain of events that threatens both the digital and physical worlds. 

Blending high-stakes cyber adventure with a warm and deeply human family drama, Summer Wars remains one of Hosoda’s most beloved achievements. Released years before conversations about social media, online identities, and digital dependence became unavoidable, the film feels remarkably prescient. As vibrant virtual landscapes collide with the traditions of a multigenerational family gathered in the Japanese countryside, Hosoda crafts an exhilarating, funny, and heartfelt vision of connection in the digital age.
