M3GAN is a 2022 science fiction horror film about a toy company roboticist who creates an advanced AI doll to bond with and care for her newly orphaned niece. When the doll becomes self-aware and overly protective, it turns violent toward anyone it sees as a threat. The movie blends black comedy with classic cautionary themes about technology dependence and parenting shortcuts, without any prominent identity politics, activist messaging, or social-justice framing.
