3 Laws Secure. Right!
Will Smith plays a robot-hating policeman in Chicago in the future. He not only does not like robots but he doesn't trust them either. But then a suicide at US Robotics gets him involved in a case that involves a strange robot. Smith is convinced that the suicide was actually a murder and the strange robot is guilty.Smith has a hard time getting anyone on the force or at US Robotics to listen to him. Plenty of action and a pretty well laid out plot move Smith to his final confrontations with the robots and his own feelings for them.Based loosely on a series of short stories in the collection I, ROBOT by Isaac Asimov, fans of the rest of his work will see that some of the later Robot novel ideas also come into play. There are also shadowings of Jack Williamson's HUMANOIDS. This movie was better than I expected it to be based on the action-driven previews. All in all it was quite entertaining and relatively true to Asimov's robot stories.
