A back room was cleared out and used as a sound stage, upon which Max's Euclid supercomputer was built and the majority of the film was shot. For the main set which was Max Cohen's apartment, Scott Franklin's father allowed the production to use a warehouse he owned in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Within Pi, stunts were replaced with ideas, action sequences with allegorical montages and special effects with a haunting redefinition of New York City. The film was shot on black and white reversal film stock Aronofsky aimed for high-contrast shots to give Pi a more 'technically raw and spontaneous' look. The film was shot on an Aaton XTR Prod Camera, which shoots with 16mm film, with a Bolex H16 Camera used for most of the handheld shots. Prior to production, to finance the complex visual sets and shots for the film, producer Eric Watson and director Darren Aronofsky went to every friend, relative or acquaintance and begged them for donations of $100 each, eventually managing to accumulate an estimated $60,000 for their production budget.

Sean Gullette as Maximillian 'Max' Cohen.

He sits on the bench and watches the trees blowing in the breeze, seemingly at peace. Max smiles and says that he does not know the answer. Sometime later, Jenna approaches Max in a park and asks him to do several calculations, including 748 ÷ 238 (an approximation for pi). Standing alone in his trashed apartment, Max burns the paper with the number and begins to use a drill on his head in a trepanning procedure. The vision ends with Max hugging Devi, who turns out to be a hallucination. After passing out, Max has a vision of himself standing in a white void and repeating the digits of the number. Believing the number and the headaches are linked, Max tries to concentrate on the number through his pain. Driven insane, he destroys part of Euclid. At his own apartment, Max experiences another headache but does not take his painkillers. Max flees and visits Sol, only to learn from his daughter Jenny that he died from another stroke, and finds a piece of paper with the number in his study. Max refuses, insisting that the number has been revealed to him alone.

They ask Max to give them the 216-digit number, believing it was meant for them to bring about the messianic age, as the number represents the unspeakable name of God. Driving by, Lenny rescues Max, but takes him to his companions at a nearby synagogue. Attempting to use it to manipulate the stock market, the firm instead caused the market to crash. Max has a falling out with Sol after Sol urges him to quit his work.ĭawson and her agents grab Max on the street and try to force him to explain the number, having found the printout Max threw away. His headaches intensify, and he discovers a vein-like bulge protruding from his right temple. Waking up, Max appears to become clairvoyant and visualizes the stock market patterns he had searched for. As Max writes down the number, he realizes that he knows the pattern, undergoes an epiphany, and passes out.

Once again, Euclid displays the 216-digit number before crashing. Using the chip, Max has Euclid analyze mathematical patterns in the Torah. Agents of a Wall Street firm approach Max one of them, Marcy Dawson, offers him a classified computer chip called 'Ming Mecca' in exchange for the results of his work. Intrigued, Max notes some of the concepts parallel other mathematical concepts such as the Fibonacci sequence.

Lenny demonstrates some simple Gematria, the correspondence of the Hebrew alphabet to numbers, and explains that some people believe the Torah is a string of numbers forming a code sent by God. Max meets Lenny Meyer, a Hasidic Jew who does mathematical research on the Torah. He urges Max to take a break from his work.

When Max mentions the number, Sol becomes unnerved and asks if it contained 216 digits, revealing that he came across the same number years ago. The next morning, he learns that Euclid's pick was accurate, but cannot find the printout. Euclid malfunctions, printing out a seemingly random 216-digit number, as well as a single pick at one-tenth its current value, then crashes. Max tries to program his computer, Euclid, to make stock predictions. He suffers from cluster headaches, extreme paranoia, hallucinations, and schizoid personality disorder, and his only social interactions are with Jenna, a young girl fascinated by his ability to perform complex calculations, Devi, a young woman living next door who sometimes speaks with him, and Sol Robeson, his mathematics mentor, now disabled from a stroke. Unemployed number theorist Max Cohen, who lives in a drab apartment in Chinatown, Manhattan, believes everything in nature can be understood through numbers.
