Plot

In 2035 A.D., Robots are programmed to live in harmony with humans and are part of every day life, when a brilliant scientist at the U.S. Robotics Corporation is found dead, Chicago Detective Del Spooner(Will Smith) is called in to investigate. Aided by robot psychologist Dr. Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan), Detective Spooner uncovers the possibility that a robot may be the primary suspect in the case. But as Spooner gets closer to the truth, he gets caught up in a race for his life. With time running out, a deeper threat emerges that challenges the very existince of mankind.

Best Scene

I think the best scene was when Sonny was about to be terminated. This scene was extremely well done by Alex Proyas the way it cut away to Spooner and used the voice over of Sonny, it brought Sonny to life and had a real emotional impact.
