The Zero Theorem

The Zero Theorem (2013) — watch online on iFILM: Terry Gilliam's sci-fi dystopia starring Christoph Waltz as Qohen Leth, a reclusive computer genius who lives and works inside a crumbling chapel, grinding through an impossible task assigned by a faceless corporation — proving that everything ultimately equals nothing.

Qohen waits for a phone call that will give his life meaning. Between attempts, Management — Matt Damon, almost wordless — sends him a teenage hacker named Bob who knows too much about the system's own code, and Bainsley, a woman whose interest in Qohen seems personal and convenient at once. David Thewlis, Tilda Swinton as a therapy avatar, Ben Whishaw, and a young Lucas Hedges fill out a cast built for a world drowning in noise.

Shot on location in Bucharest, the film layers visual overload against a script about inner emptiness — Gilliam's recurring preoccupation, pushed here to its logical extreme. Stream The Zero Theorem (2013) online on iFILM.
