Lucy
(Scarlett Johansson) is an exchange student in Taipei who gets tricked into
delivering a suitcase full of drugs to a Korean syndicate in a five star hotel. She reluctantly
becomes a drug mule, with a packet of drugs surgically implanted in her belly for retrieval right after she deplanes in the United States. She gets in trouble
en route to America, though, as one of the goons in charge of guarding her attempts
rape, which she successfully foils but not without a kick to the stomach that
damages the packet and releases the substance into her blood stream. What she
receives should have been a fatal dose, but her body adapts quickly. Soon
enough she finds herself with new superhuman abilities as an effect of her rapidly
expanding brain usage. As her brain capacity nears 100%, Lucy becomes a
God-like entity, doing stuff one only witnesses in science fiction stories. But the syndicate wants their drugs back, while Lucy also needs a steady supply to maintain her newfound skills. As such, one chase scene after another unfolds all over Europe as the two parties try to outwit and get rid of of each other.
