IT IS THE FUTURE. Machines are being programmed to turn against us. Someone must stop the madman who started it all.
In the near future, a police officer specializes in malfunctioning robots. When a robot turns out to have been programmed to kill, he begins to uncover a homicidal plot to create killer robots... and his son becomes a target.

Short filmTranscript
00:00Why did Jack quit the regular force?
00:12Yeah, why'd he quit, Marvin?
00:13What'd he tell you?
00:14He'd tell me because of Vertigo, but I don't believe him.
00:15A few years back, Jack was chasing this guy.
00:16Bad guy.
00:17This guy ran into a building that was under construction.
00:18Jack freaked out.
00:31Started sweating.
00:32Couldn't follow him.
00:33Guy got wet.
00:34Later that night, that same guy killed six people.
00:35Is that why he's a robot expert?
00:36It's always on his mind.
00:37The guy that got away.
00:38Retinal identification is now being carried out.
00:39He's got to be a robot.
00:40He's got to be.
00:41Now he's got to be.
00:42He's got to be.
00:43He's got to be.
00:44He's got to be.
00:45He's got to be.
00:46He's got to be.
00:47He's got to be.
00:48You know anything about robotics and computers?
00:51Jack, look at this.
00:53You've heard of a bullet that has your name on it?
00:55You see that red stripe?
00:56It's not a regular commercial shipment.
00:58This isn't a runaway.
01:00This is murder.
01:01He's killed five so far. I want him.
01:04Yeah, I'm sure you did.
01:07I'm going in.
01:08You're going in. We could send a disarm robot in.
01:10It'll hit the disarm and any minute it's gonna decide to hit the kid.
01:14Hey, you got that loader yet?
01:16We're programming it now, sir.
01:21Didn't you ever want to work the regular force?
01:23This is the regular force.
01:25I sort of fell into it by accident.
01:27I kind of liked it, so I took some night courses in robotics, APL, that sort of thing.
01:32And then all of a sudden I just seemed to know more about it than anybody else.
01:38Beautiful. Just beautiful.
01:41I'm glad you're satisfied, Dr. Luther.
01:43Satisfied? I'm delighted.
01:45I'm ecstatic.
01:46That's good. Good.
01:48Where are the chips?
01:49Damn evil son of a bitch.
01:52These aren't all the chips.
01:54And where are the templates to make more?
02:13Runaway
02:14Tom Seligman
02:16Cynthia Rose
02:18Gene Simmons
02:22Runaway
02:26You can't run away, Ramsey. I'll find you.
