Chappie

ActionAdventureCrimeDramaSci-FiThriller120 min

In a near-future Johannesburg where robot police patrol the streets, a stolen droid is reprogrammed to think and feel for itself. Dev Patel is the engineer behind that breakthrough, and the newly sentient Chappie ends up in the hands of gangsters played by Ninja and Yo-Landi Visser, who shape what he learns about language, loyalty, and survival. As the machine develops like a child under pressure from the people around him, the story folds questions of artificial intelligence into a crime-filled, dystopian city where every lesson comes with consequences.
