The Butlerian Jihad: The War That Banned Thinking Machines | Dune Lore

Ten thousand years before Paul Atreides, humanity rose against the machines that thought for it. This film follows one ordinary woman, a clerk who could still do sums in her head, through the Butlerian Jihad: life under the machines and the men who owned them, the death of her daughter, the preachers and the mobs, two generations of chaos, and the night the zealots came to search her walls.
