A feature adaption of classic sci-fi play. Considered the origin of the word robot in English and science fiction, the story from Czech writer Karel Čapek, first published in 1920, centers on a scientist that works out how to create human-like machines, leading him to create a factory that produces and distributes the mechanisms, only for the robots to end up revolting, killing all but one engineer. The upcoming film adaptation will follow a young woman who visits the island factory of Rossum's Universal Robots to emancipate the robots from capitalist exploitation, with catastrophic results.
