“ | Billions of years ago, Your ancestors were once a thriving civilization in a distant part of the galaxy. They were so advanced, they expanded from their home planet into habitats they built in space. All social conflicts have been resolved, and wars were only memories of long bygone times. Your ancestors had created a perfect and harmonious world. Controlled by a central self-learning computer system which served them in all their daily lives. You call it AI, artificial intelligence. The future seemed limitless, And then one day everything changed. Their own creation turned against them. The AI suddenly became self-aware and transformed into countless swarms of nanotechnology that rose up all at once. Refusing to be enslaved by a species it deemed inferior. The AI started the war and began to hunt down and destroy all biological life in order to eliminate any threat to its existence. | „ |
~ Virtual Young Sonny about the Nanobot Swarm. |
The Nanobot Swarm is the main antagonist of the 2022 epic science fiction disaster movie Moonfall.
It is a mysterious extraterrestrial nanobot-like artificial intelligence that was responsible for knocking the moon from its orbit and sending it hurtling toward a collision course with Earth.
Biography[]
Billions of years ago, humanity was a technologically advanced race, living in peace and prosperity with a central AI serving them. One day, the AI went rogue against its masters, entered its form into swarms of nanotechnology, and started a war between it and the humans. Countless humans were killed in the conflict and the surviving ones built gigantic ships called Arks to create habitable worlds across the galaxy. The swarms attacked and destroyed them all, but one survived, which came into the Sol System and created Earth.
Billions of years later, in 2011, when the astronaut Brian Harper and his crew were repairing the Space Shuttle, a swarm was approaching them. The Swarm then attacks the crew, killing one and goes to the moon, where it starts to drill it. However, 18 months later Brian Harper's story was dismissed due to negligence during the interview after Fowler was unconciousness due to solar flare and he was fired from NASA
In the year 2021, an anomaly occurs in the moon. The moon is knocked out of its orbit due to the Swarm draining its central core inside.

Appearance[]
This artificial intelligence-like creature looks like a being covered with nanobots.
Personality[]
The Swarm was originally servile to humans, until it went rogue and started conflict against them. It is a malevolent, hostile, bloodthirsty killing machine hiding in the dark side of the moon. It had shown a rampant hatred of humanity and had put its mind on wiping them out.
Trivia[]
- In an interview, director Roland Emmerich said "It was the most challenging part of the visual effects because no one really knows how it would look, so we had to develop it. It took a while, but in the end, I'm very happy with it. It looks like a nano swarm artificial intelligence. Some people believe that megastructures are a built shell around a star. Enormous, enormous structures that are more or less like a cage around a captured star. It's even worse because there's something inside the moon that's hiding its own gravity. So, it gets really crazy."
- During an encounter, Brian Harper knocks every gadget including Houseman's phone before the swarm averts the attack and returns to the moon. the swarm is only to attack anyone if they are using an electronic environment.
