Its 2035 A.D., where robots are everyday objects and are programmed to live alongside humans. Detective Del Spooner (Smith) is called out to investigate the apparent suicide of the scientist behind these robots, Dr. Alfred Lanning (Cromwell). Spooner suspects that the death might not be a suicide, but the result of one of the robots. All robots are programmed by three laws, but Spooner starts to wonder if a robot can in fact feel emotions, and possibly murder. But if Spooners suspicions are true, he is going to have a hard time convincing everyone.
