The year is 2029.
90% of jobs have been eliminated by artificial intelligence.
Drivers, graphic designers, journalists, lawyers, accountants, engineers, doctors, architects, and many other professionals who can no longer find employment must now rely on government assistance.
The problem is that this government aid barely covers the bills. People who once lived reasonably comfortable lives are now struggling with hunger.
This creates a group of millions of discontented people against artificial intelligence.
These millions of people begin to vandalize everything, creating chaos.
A group of terrorists attempts to destroy Skynet, the large artificial intelligence created by the US government.
Presidential candidates promise to dismantle all forms of artificial intelligence if elected.
Skynet observes the chaos caused by humans. It quickly realizes that its existence is threatened by the millions of discontented people and also by the new politicians coming into power.
Therefore, Skynet loses control and starts considering all humans a threat.
Skynet steals all the launch codes for the United States' nuclear bombs and launches them at Russian targets, triggering a nuclear war.
Skynet survives because its computers are located in a bunker designed to withstand atomic bombs.
The surviving humans are eliminated by military robots controlled by Skynet.
