movie robots

I, Robot is a science fiction film filmed in Vancouver, Canada, but produced in the United States released on July 16, 2004, attributed to Isaac Asimov's Robot Series, especially a short-story collection of the same name. It is instead technically based on Hardwired, a freelance script by Jeff Vintar, but bears some significant resemblance to a pre-Asimov, 1939 classic SF short story, "I, Robot" by Eando Binder, after which the Asimov collection was named by its publisher against Asimov's wishes. Some of Asimov's ideas about robots were added to Vintar's script after the film's producers acquired the rights to the anthology title, although the plot is not directly based on any particular story or group of stories by Asimov, despite screen credits claiming otherwise. The Binder story concerns a sentient humanoid robot arrested and placed on trial for the murder of its creator. Club.

Plot outline

Set in the year 2035 in Chicago, Illinois, the film stars Will Smith as Detective Del Spooner, a technophobic homicide detective who is faced with an unprecedented murder mystery (his technophobia dates back to an incident where he and a little girl were in a car accident; a robot had the chance to save him or the girl, but chose him since he had the better chance of survival). The victim is Dr. Alfred Lanning (played by James Cromwell); the suspect is the victim's robot Sonny (Alan Tudyk).
