Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
I, Robot (sometimes stylized as i,Robot) is a 2004 American science fiction action film directed by Alex Proyas, from a screenplay by Jeff Vintar and Akiva Goldsman. It stars Will Smith, Bridget Moynahan, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell, and Alan Tudyk. The film is named after Isaac Asimov's 1950 short-story collection and incorporates Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics and several characters, though it is not a direct adaptation. The film is set in Chicago in 2035. Highly intelligent robots fill public service positions throughout the world, operating under the Three Laws of Robotics to keep humans safe. Detective Del Spooner (Smith) investigates the alleged suicide of U.S. Robotics founder Alfred Lanning (Cromwell) and believes that a human-like robot called Sonny (Tudyk) murdered him. I, Robot was released by 20th Century Fox in the United States on July 16, 2004. Produced with a budget of $105–120 million, the film grossed $353.1 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the visual effects and acting, but criticism of the plot. At the 77th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Visual Effects. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
