Surrogates is a sci fi action thriller film, based on the 2005–2006 comic book series of the same name. The film is directed by Jonathan Mostow (Terminator: Rise of the Machines: "Breakdown) and stars Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike with James Cromwell and Ving Rhames. Surrogates is scheduled to be released by Touchstone Pictures on September 25, 2009.
The year 2017 is a future in which humans live in near-total isolation, never leaving the safety and comfort of their homes, and only communicating with their fellow man through remotely controlled robotic bodies that serve as "surrogates", designed as better-looking versions of their human operators. Because people are safe all the time, and damage done to a surrogate is not even felt by its owner, it is a peaceful world free from fear, pain, and crime. Bruce Willis is an FBI agent who enlists the aid of his own surrogate to investigate the first murder in years, of the genius college student who invented the surrogates. The case grows more complicated, however, when several humans are murdered as their surrogates are destroyed. The withdrawn detective discovers that in order to actually catch the killer he will have to physically venture outside the safety of his home for the first time in many years, and enlists the aid of another agent in tracking his target down.
