"Vikings" star Travis Fimmel is set to play the lead in sci-fi thriller "Zone 414".

Andrew Baird, who has directed short films such as "Rebirth", "Korn: Take Me" and "Fever Dream", is making his feature directorial debut with the movie, reported Deadline.

Written by Bryan Edward, the film's story is set in the near future in a colony of state-of-the-art humanoid robots.

"When its creator's daughter goes missing, he hires private investigator David Carmichael (Fimmel), to bring her home. David teams up with Jane, a highly advanced and self-aware AI, to track down the missing daughter.

"Moving through the dangerous iron jungle, they rapidly piece together the mystery, uncovering a crime that leads them to question the origins of Zone 414 and the true purpose behind the 'City of Robots'," the official plotline read.

Baird is also producing alongside Martin Brennan, Jib Polhemus and Deborah Shaw-Kolar. Mark Huffam and Bryan Edward Hill are executive producing.

Fimmel, best known for starring in "Vikings" and "Warcraft", is currently working on Ridley Scott's "Raised by Wolves".
