Chappie

With crime rates out of control in Johannesburg, South Africa, the government purchases state-ofthe-art robots to enforce the peace and fight crime. Vincent (Jackman), a competing engineer who’s developed his own robotic soldiers, feels slighted that his weapons weren’t given equal attention, and steals a damaged police robot, into which he plans to upload the new artificial intelligence that he’s developed. However, he and the robot are kidnapped by a group of thugs who threaten to kill him unless he programs the robot to fight for them. He installs his artificial intelligence into the police robot and it gains a childlike sentience. The thugs begin to teach it to speak and name it “Chappie” (Copley).
