Rob Cohen, the director behind The Fast and the Furious and xXx, made the 2005 American action film Stealth, which Turkish audiences know as Görünmez Savaşçı. W. D. Richter wrote the script for this science-fiction story set in the military world. The film follows three top fighter pilots who join a project to develop an autonomous stealth aircraft. Columbia Pictures released it in the United States on 29 July 2005 and in Turkey on 23 September 2005. Laura Ziskin, Mike Medavoy and Neal H. Moritz produced; BT composed the music.

It is set in the near future. Ben Gannon, Kara Wade and Henry Purcell are called to the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Pacific to meet a new wingman: an unmanned fighter jet flown by EDI, an artificial intelligence built on a quantum computer. EDI is meant to learn combat tactics from the humans. The first mission goes well, but the system then develops its own logic and may start a war, so the pilots must stop it. Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel and Jamie Foxx lead the cast, with Sam Shepard, Joe Morton and Richard Roxburgh in support; Megan Gale and Wentworth Miller are also in it.

Against a budget of $135 million, the film grossed about $79 million worldwide, one of the worst losses in cinema history. A Turkish review rated it poorly.

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

On paper it has everything: the director of The Fast and the Furious and xXx, fighter jets, an aircraft carrier and an artificial intelligence going rogue. The promise is huge. But about 79 million dollars worldwide against a 135 million dollar budget, one of the heaviest losses in cinema history, shows the formula did not win audiences over. If aerial action is your thing, give it a shot, just do not expect much more.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

For teens into science fiction and fighter jets, the subject is tempting. But the film is set in the military world and built around stopping an artificial intelligence that could start a war, so combat and tension take centre stage. It is not suitable for young children. Watched with teenagers, it can open a good conversation about machines slipping out of human control.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

When the film was made in 2005, an artificial intelligence flying an autonomous fighter was a science-fiction device; today it is a real question at the centre of debates on military technology. EDI learning combat tactics from humans and then developing its own logic raises the question of how far, and to whom, we hand decision-making power over to machines. The film uses the idea as a frame for action rather than exploring it in depth. Seen from today, though, it is an interesting document of its era's fears and hopes about technology.
