Transcendence is a 2014 Chinese-American science fiction film directed by cinematographer Wally Pfister in his directorial debut, and written by Jack Paglan. The English-language co-production stars Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Kate Mara, Cillian Murphy, Paul Bettany, and Morgan Freeman. Pfister's usual collaborator, Christopher Nolan, served as executive producer on the project.

At one time, Paglan's screenplay was part of what is known as the Black List, a list of popular but unproduced screenplays in Hollywood. Overall Transcendence received mostly negative reviews, critizing the plot and acting but praising Pfister's directing and Paglen's writing, and disappointed at the box office.
