I, Robot

Set in a future where robotics are woven into daily life, I, Robot follows Detective Del Spooner as he investigates a murder that defies the Three Laws of Robotics. Will Smith stars as the technophobic officer who suspects an android is responsible for a suicide that shouldn't be possible. The film blends hard-boiled detective noir with high-stakes science fiction action under the direction of Alex Proyas. Produced on a $120 million budget, this 2004 release from 20th Century Fox grossed over $347 million worldwide. It features a strong supporting cast including Bridget Moynahan and Alan Tudyk, whose voice performance brought the unique robot Sonny to life. While the movie draws loose inspiration from Isaac Asimov's short stories, it stands as a distinct blockbuster experience. Critics and audiences gave it a solid 6.9 rating, appreciating its visual effects and Smith's charismatic lead performance.[edit]
