In a dazzlingly original move, hollywood has decided to release a film about a machine with a mind of its own. Spookily enough it comes alive and goes out of control. But that's enough about Herbie/the new Herbie remake/Short Circuit.
Synopsis: Deeply ensconced in a top-secret military program, three pilots struggle to bring an artificial intelligence program under control ... before it initiates the next world war.
Unofficial Synopsis: Airwolf + The Terminator
Figure 1. Evidence of sheep.
The so called "artificial intelligence" is in reality a crazy man on a tractor:

If you want to save yourself a few quid, here's a plot summary of Stealth, needless to say there are *Spoilers* ahead:
The first signs that something is wrong is when a jumbo jet manages to squeeze one out on runway 3 at Heathrow Airport:
Figure 3. Flying Herbie, I mean 'Stealth', squeezes one out.
Figure 4. A couple of Spice Girls.
Overall, out of 5, I'd give it the middle finger.

Stealth (2005)
A little known fact about this film is that it is actually based upon an animated graphic novel* from the 80s called Jimbo. The writers created what is essentially a long episode of Jimbo, but used less skilled actors and script writers fresh out of kindergarten to give it that 'real world' edge. As far as the story goes, the three pilots mentioned in the tagline are actually three sheep:

This is obviously bad news, so they just stop the movie and give everyone their money back, but not before they bring in a couple of Spice Girls for a sing-song:

The End.
