"I, Robot" is based on a collection of short stories by Isaac Asimov, a renowned science fiction author. The film is set in the year 2035, where robots are a common sight in metropolitan cities like Chicago. Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) is tasked with solving a murder mystery that involves a robot, which leads him to question the true intentions of the robotics company, US Robotics (USR). As the investigation unfolds, Spooner discovers a mysterious robot, Sonny, who possesses advanced capabilities that challenge the fundamental laws of robotics.

I, Robot is a sci-fi thriller set in 2035, where robots are integrated into everyday life under the "Three Laws of Robotics".

The film cleverly twists Asimov’s Laws: VIKI reinterprets the First Law to mean that robots must protect humanity as a whole from itself – even if that requires sacrificing individual freedoms or lives. The hero robot, Sonny (voiced by Alan Tudyk, with performance capture), displays unique traits: creativity, dreams, and even a lie. Sonny becomes the key to both the mystery and the film’s emotional core.

The ISaidUB link is a pivotal plot point in the movie. When Spooner and his partner, Susan Calvin (played by Bridget Moynahan), investigate the contents of the USB drive, they find a video recording of Alfred Lanning.
