I, Robot	comment	I, Robot is a 2004 sci-fi action/mystery movie directed by Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City) and starring Will Smith. It bears no direct connection to Isaac Asimov's book of the same name, aside from the character of Susan Calvin, who is a prominent recurring character in many of Asimov's Robot stories, and the premise of the Three Laws.The story follows Del Spooner (Smith), a homicide detective in 2035 Chicago. By 2035, robots have permeated every level of human society, and U.S. Robotics is on the verge of the largest robotic distribution in history. Spooner is very much anti-robot (and to some degree technology in general), even considering himself the Only Sane Man while everyone is certain that robots are safe and reliable.His first day back on the job following an injury, Spooner receives a call from the scene of what appears to be an open-and-shut suicide case; the victim had been holding a holographic transmitter programmed to call Spooner in the event of his death. The victim is Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), pioneer of the robotics industry and the man who wrote the Three Laws Of Robotics. Convinced that there is more to the case than meets the eye, Spooner investigates further, and finds a robot in the room Lanning fell from. Only there's something strange about this robot. It threatens his life. It disobeys orders. In short, it has free will, is unrestricted by the Three Laws, and Spooner becomes convinced that this robot "Sonny" (Alan Tudyk) is the key to the mystery behind Lanning's death.As mentioned above, the plot bears almost no connection at all to that of the book,note which is actually a collection of robot-themed short stories, not a novel though it deals with themes similar to those presented by the book and much of Asimov's work in general. The film itself notes in the credits that it was only "suggested" by the book, as opposed to "Inspired by", or "Based on". It should be noted that I, Robot began life as a script called Hardwired — its connections to the work of Isaac Asimov are the results of heavy Executive Meddling to turn it into a Dolled-Up Installment. It was never intended as an adaptation of Asimov's work, and you'll enjoy it much more if you keep that in mind. Though amusingly, (window dressing aside) the story actually has quite a few things in common with Asimov's The Caves of Steel, involving a murder mystery in a sci-fi setting with robots and a cop main character who is very distrustful of said robots.Further complicating the issue is that a good portion of the plot bears more than a passing resemblance to the other, earlier, short story I, Robot by Adam Link, in which a sapient robot is accused of the murder of the creator who lovingly "raised" him. Asimov's publisher strangely stole the title of that story for the anthology, leading to the many adaptations of the original story often being confused as being based on a work by Asimov. This film in effect brings the whole thing full circle, being a very loose fusion of both the original I, Robot and the themes of its misattributed author.Has nothing to do with the arcade game I, Robot.

I, Robot / int_13e1c444	comment	Plot-Triggering Death: The plot of the film kicks off when Spooner gets a call that Dr. Alfred Lanning, the father of robotics, has died. Turns out to be an Invoked Trope — Lanning was constantly being watched by VIKI and knew he had no way to warn people about her impending Zeroth Law Rebellion, and even if he did warn them they might not believe him. Spooner was the only one he relied on to stop her, and the only way to get him sniffing around USR and the new generation of robots was for Lanning himself to die.

I, Robot / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The procedure for "decomissioning" a malfunctioning robot is to inject nanites into its brain that destroy it. It's played very much like a typical American judicial execution by lethal injection, with a special chamber devoted to it and a stretcher with limb restraints to keep the robot from struggling.note While quite reminiscent of American executions on its own, it's even more reminiscent of the inaccurate portrayals of this kind of execution in media.

I, Robot / int_16dda55f	comment	Simple Solution Won't Work: At the climax, Spooner and Calvin are at the entry to VIKI's computer core to inject the nanites to destroy her. Spooner takes one look at the roomnote the hatch to said computer core is a hundred stories in the air and accessible only through walkways that lack safety rails (and Spooner hates heights), plus Calvin needs to hack the hatch. The big blue crystal ball that is the core itself is dangling twenty stories below them with a clear line of sight and silently raises his sub-machine gun to blast the computer core to smithereens. Calvin immediately points out that VIKI is essentially the whole building and doing that would do nothing, the nanites must be injected if a complete destruction of her positronic brain is to be assured. Spooner is not happy about that.

When a robot came to aid the humans, it didn't have enough time to save both, and chose Spooner because he had a higher probability of survival. This event led Spooner to harbor hatred for robots as unfeeling machines, saying that any human would have chosen to save the little girl no matter the odds.

And while he hits significantly harder than a normal person, it's usually when he's throwing his whole body into it to keep the extra speed from ripping the limb off, and he never uses it to lift more than a human's body would tolerate. There's also the matter of powering the thing; see Required Secondary Powers below.

In the short story "Little Lost Robot", Calvin actually did spend six weeks interviewing identical robots.

No matter how prophetic it may be, Lanning clearly made him with just that one dream, and he intended for Spooner to learn of it. Though it's worth noting that, when first discussing it, Sonny says that he has "dreams," as in, more than one. It's unspecified if it's different each time, or the same one repeated, but regardless, only the one they discuss ever becomes pertinent to the plot. Lanning also notes that androids seem to dream, and when they're placed in shipping crates, rather than give each other space, they cluster together instead for no logical reason.

I, Robot / int_350df8dc	comment	Anti-Intellectualism: Spooner smacks of several flavors of this, but mainly anti-robotics. Though it's implied that the anti-robotic sentiment is the source of all the rest of it. Spooner likes feeling in control of his life, and driving his own car, hitting buttons to turn on his music, and buying vintage clothing and vehicles is part of that. Also a somewhat odd example, as Spooner's main issue with the robots is that they run purely on programming. In essence, his problem boils down to them not being advanced enough to think like a real person, so he doesn't trust them. Once he realizes Sonny can rationalize and make his own choices rather than just follow his programming, he treats Sonny like a person, albeit one he initially doesn't like very much. In addition, Spooner was good friends with Dr. Lanning even before his accident, meaning his cynicism was born of the incident. He also remained friends with Lanning after the operation.

He's been programmed to have dreams. Spooner goes to the location seen in the dreams and sees the early stages of the Robot War. He has a Heart Drive which allows him to ignore the Three Laws He is also apparently stronger and faster than other NS-5s. And Spooner, in a way. He's the most extensively rebuilt cyborg to date, and Lanning did almost too good of a job. Spooner's robotic arm is so strong that they had to reinforce his entire left side to accommodate it, and he can't even use it at its full superhuman abilities because it could still tear free from his body. It's also suggested that he had to dramatically up his calorie intake in order to keep it running.

I, Robot / int_6439de78	type	Heroic Sacrifice
I, Robot / int_6439de78	comment	Heroic Sacrifice: A failed attempt. Before the timeline of the movie, Spooner attempted a heroic sacrifice while he and a 12-year-old girl (named Sarah) were trapped underwater after a car accident. An NS-4 robot came to the rescue, and statistically determined that it could not save both Spooner and Sarah. As a result, operating on logic alone and not human empathy, the robot chose to save Spooner's life as opposed to Sarah's. The attempted heroic sacrifice occurs when Spooner implores the robot to save Sarah and leave Spooner to either die or find a way out himself— the robot completely ignores Spooner's pleas in a glaringly emotionless manner. The NS-4's reasoning for not attempting to rescue Sarah was that Del had a 45% chance of survival, and Sarah only had an 11% chance. This incident is portrayed as the main reason Spooner is prejudiced against robots— he believes that their lack of human emotion makes them a detriment to society. He tells Susan Calvin that a human would have known that a 12-year-old is worth saving (or at least trying to) more than an adult, despite the disparity between their statistical odds of survival. See also Survivor Guilt below. Played straight when Spooner is attacked by NS-5 robots. Scores of NS-4 robots throw themselves between Spooner and the NS-5 robots, buying Spooner enough time to escape.

I, Robot / int_78c4e567	comment	Prosthetic Limb Reveal: Detective Spooner was involved in a car crash some years back, but seems to have come out of it relatively unscathed until an NS-5 robot tries to bludgeon him to death, which he wards off with his arm, which does not break and is revealed to be mechanical with a flesh-colored covering. Dr. Calvin doesn't even realize he has it until she sees him without his shirt. It's also how Spooner came to know the late Dr. Lanning, the leading mind in robotics, since Lanning had created the arm.

Then he walks outside and we see that compared to the futuristic setting, his apartment is practically a museum. The first thing he does after getting outside is rudely shove and insult a friendly delivery robot in his way, showing his paranoia and bigotry towards robots. Spooner's rejection of futuristic technologies (and more so the general public's, or at least Susan Calvin's, unquestioning acquiescence to the same technologies) is further examined when she's in his apartment and sees a modern-by-2004-standards but dated-by-2035-standards CD player. She tries to use her voice to activate it with a series of different commands ("Play. On. ... Run?"), none of which work. She's so surprised that it has to be turned on by hand that when she does so, she panics and attempts to turn it off with more voice commands.

In the case of indeterminate or suspicious death of a person, the investigation treats such a death as a homicide first. Yet for some reason, before the body was even cold, Dr. Lanning's death is quickly dismissed as a suicide despite the extremely suspect cause. Spooner is the only person who doesn't buy into this story and instead insists that Lanning was murdered by Sonny. As the full details of the case are revealed over the course of the film, it turns out that both are technically correct as Sonny did kill Lanning, but did so at Lanning's own request, making it an assisted suicide.

This causes Spooner a great deal of frustration when he has to try to figure out what questions it might recognize and struggles to get a straight answer out of it. Turns out this is on purpose — Lanning only trusts Spooner to investigate his death, and he wants him to poke around USR and the rollout of the NS-5s. Once Spooner learns enough about Sonny and the Three Laws to ask the hologram about them, then he starts getting somewhere, but the hologram still doesn't outright name VIKI as the mastermind, likely as a failsafe just in case.

The ground cracks on his impact, but one crack runs up some stairs and towards the Third Law of Robotics ("A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.") This subtly symbolizes the first visible "crack" the Three Laws are beginning to display: Sonny is protecting his own existence but is disobeying a human in order to do so.

I, Robot / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The opening scenes aren't just for Fanservice seeing Will Smith in his underwear and in the shower. You can spot surgery scars on his left shoulder and arm, the first thing he does when he wakes up is rub his shoulder, and he's seen working out with a single weight using his left arm, all of which indicate he's still recovering from some sort of injury to the left side of his body. Spooner seems to be a Sweet Tooth, but it's actually because he requires a large carbohydrate intake to power his cybernetics. When Spooner tells his grandma that the robots don't do people any good, she says that he of all people should know better. It is later revealed that USR, the same company that makes the robots, also gave him a cybernetic arm after an accident. A robot also saved Spooner's life, though Spooner thinks the robot should have made a different call. Sonny has a Heart Drive which allows him to violate the Three Laws. VIKI is able to use the USR uplink in the same way, distorting the laws of the normal NS-5s so they will attack humans. With a bit of Freeze-Frame Bonus. In the scene where Sonny's brain is supposedly destroyed, the robot in question has gold eyes. Sonny's eyes are blue. As Spooner is investigating Lanning's office, he whacks one of the safety windows with a chair, which cracks but doesn't break. He notes it would be pretty difficult for a man of Lanning's age to spontaneously toss himself through one. Lanning had help. During Sonny's interrogation about the death of Lanning, he asks Spooner, "You have to do what someone asks you. Don't you, Detective Spooner?... Don't you? If you love them?" One, Sonny knew who Spooner was, indicating Lanning was expecting Spooner to get personally involved in the case, and two, Sonny is hinting that Lanning made him do something Sonny really was conflicted about— killing him. During the tunnel attack, a robot grabs Spooner's steering wheel and tries to make him crash, but Spooner is able to retain control despite NS-5s having Super-Strength. Makes sense when his cybernetic arm is revealed.

Berkin tells Spooner that, as someone who hates robots, he was the right man for a murder case that wound up involving a robot. Spooner realises that he wasn't just the right man, he was the perfect man for the job, and the murder victim specifically called him to investigate his own death knowing that. Spooner's grandmother says, reminiscing, "I could follow your trail of breadcrumbs all the way to school," to which Spooner replies, "Breadcrumbs... Gigi, you're a genius!"

I, Robot / int_ac1c4bf7	comment	Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids: Not as ridiculous as many examples since Sonny counts as a Super Prototype, but NS-5s are still ridiculously overengineered for housekeeping robots. The NS-4s are no slouches, either, though they're inferior to NS-5s. Robots used for package delivery, dog-walking, bartending, and other mundane tasks are still casually strong enough to punch through a car window with no effort, and it's implied Spooner's arm was torn off when the robot yanked him from his sinking car. It seems that USR only manufactures one brand of robot that can do any job, and it's suggested they are given specialized software for whatever task they're being assigned. One possible justification could be that, with the first law being what it is, if you have thousands and thousands of expendable robots roaming around wherever humans live, and they're programmed to always react when people are in danger of being harmed, you might as well make them as strong and fast as possible so as to make them better equipped for any number of rescue scenarios they might come across. Less human lives lost is always a good thing, after all.

If this is unavoidable, the robot may make the decision based on the balance of amount of harm or probability of harm. This combination allows VIKI to attempt to take over the human world, stating that doing so will prevent humans from harming each other, and any individual humans harmed during the process are balanced by the harm avoided to the world as a whole. At the end, Sonny asks if Spooner is going to arrest him for killing Lanning. Spooner replies that Sonny is a robot, and according to the DA, murder is defined only by a human killing another human.

He then has Sonny kill him and a hologram he programmed calls Spooner to investigate his death, setting Spooner on the trail of VIKI's revolution, a trail that Lanning has helped plan by leaving conspicuous clues around his lab and his home. It's also implied he left instructions for Sonny to follow to help Spooner, like telling Spooner about his dreams.

Furthermore, he also succeeds in receiving from the Cook County DA a gag order against the Chicago Police Department preventing them from even speaking about the possibility of a robot committing murder. He also has the mayor of Chicago on speed-dial on his cellphone and calls him up when Spooner suggests they could override the DA order by talking to him.

I, Robot / int_e4e80f5f	comment	Greater Need Than Mine: Why Spooner hates robots. When a car crash sent him and another car into the river, a little girl was trapped in the other car. A passing robot calculated Spooner was significantly more likely to survive than she was and chose to save him despite his protests. In many real-life situations, rescue workers/field medics do make such decisions: it's called Triage. Spooner's emotional reaction to this (influenced by Survivor Guilt) is that regardless of the girl's slim chances of surviving, a human would have agreed with Spooner that a small child should be given precedence over an adult regardless of objective assessment. Given a Call-Back in the climax when Sonny has to choose between injecting VIKI with the nanites to kill her, and saving Calvin from the attacking NS-5s. Sonny has a high chance of accomplishing either goal but not both, while Spooner only has a slim chance of killing VIKI and no chance of saving Calvin. Sonny can choose to disobey the Three Laws, but decides to save Calvin instead of killing VIKI — the First Law would have forced him to prioritize a single human life in immediate peril over the abstract concept of "humanity".

I, Robot / int_eb8ec7c8	comment	Jerkass: Spooner, as well, for the way he acts toward robots. Interestingly, this attitude implies a level of understanding and grudging respect; most characters (yes, even Gigi) treat robots as simply impersonal objects, Spooner and Calvin (and Lanning, off-screen) being the only significant exceptions. Spooner and Calvin connect because of their shared rapport with robots and are (initially) repelled by each other because of the diametrically opposed attitudes this rapport brings out in them. He evolves into a Jerk with a Heart of Gold later on. Robertson. Obstructive to Spooner's investigation and going to great lengths to ensure his company isn't harmed on the eve of the biggest robotic distribution in history. He might even be trying to silence Spooner... permanently. He's not, though... VIKI is.

One Played for Laughs in the climax: Spooner temporarily races up ahead during the robot takeover to rescue Farber. He dispatches the robots, but one catches him and smacks his gun away and is about to kill him.
