Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Solo is a 1996 American science fiction action film starring Mario Van Peebles and directed by Norberto Barba. The film was loosely based on the 1989 novel Weapon by Robert Mason (who also wrote a sequel novel called Solo which is not related to this movie).Solo is a robotic soldier made by the US military. After being deployed into a Latin American civil war, he gains sentience and starts to sympathize with the native civilians. Joining them, Solo assists in fighting off the American intervention, to his creators' frustration. Soon, they create an upgraded soldier, and Solo must battle him to maintain his humanity and protect his friends.Not to be confused with the 2018 Star Wars movie.

Big Bad Wannabe: The rebels Solo's initially sent to dispatch are also shown to be bad guys, but the US military is depicted as a much greater threat from the beginning and eventually become subservient to them. Their commander doesn't even get a name.

Armies Are Evil: The US Army personnel in the film, aside from Solo, are all ruthless men unhappy that he aborts their mission to spare civilian villagers, creating a more ruthless robot soldier to replace him that lacks his programming which prevents this.
