Another wonderful science fiction film about cloning, comparable to "The Sixth Day" and "Escape from the Island of Clone"; such themes include "Clone of Husband", "Reaping Elizabeth", "Blade Runner", etc...
The Puerto Rico laboratory, a biochemical scientist William Foster (Keanu Reeves played by Keanu Reeves) who works for a biotechnology company, has been committed to the study of cloning technology for a long time. At this time, he was conducting the 345th experiment, transferring the brain consciousness of a newly-dead soldier into a machine shell, but after the robot awoke, he was terrified and could not accept his own appearance, so he committed suicide by disassembling parts; in order to prevent the robot from being damaged. , William forcibly unplugged the power supply. The experiment failed repeatedly, and the most successful one was only to let the robot implanted with human brain consciousness say a word or two, but it was irrational at all, and it dismantled itself in three hits.
Company boss Jones (played by John Ortiz) told William that due to repeated failures of the experiment, the company’s top executives have no hope; if there is no progress in the near future, the company will cancel the research on the project...
William tried his best not to let himself be affected by the failure of the experiment. He took his wife Mona (Alice Eve) and three children on a weekend outing. As a result, it rained heavily on the way and the roadside tree was knocked down. William had no time to brake. His wife was stabbed to death by a tree branch on the spot, and the car immediately fell into the river... Except for Will, all four of his wife and children died tragically, which made William desperate for life.
However, the instinct of the scientist prompts William to calm down quickly. William didn't choose to call the police. As a neuroscientist, and he happened to be engaged in research similar to resurrection, he decided to take the risk. William called his laboratory assistant Ed Whittle (Thomas Middleditch Thomas Middleditch), who is engaged in biological cloning, to the scene of the car accident and brought the consciousness memory for his laboratory; the four family members After copying his consciousness, he ordered Ed to dispose of the corpses of his wife and children...
Then, William asked Ed to steal four clone cabins from his laboratory and transport them to his home. Because Ed was very enlightened and knew the dangers of embezzling public property worth hundreds of dollars, he only stole three cabins. This made William fall into a soul struggle, because each clone cabin can only be used once, and there are 4 family members that need to be cloned; therefore, he used a paper to draw lots to decide who to abandon; as a result, William got his best Love's little daughter Zoe. So William took out the consciousness memory of the other three family members and deleted all their memories about Zoe...
Then, William asked Ed to start the cloning process; although Ed said that the animals cloned before were either deformed or had internal organs growing outside, and never succeeded, Will still showed great trust in Ed .
During the 17-day training period, William did not go to work. Jones asked about the reason. Ed lied that he was sick... During the period, Margaret, the teacher of his son Matt, came to the house and asked why he did not go to school. William had to find a lie. Prevarication; in order to prevent the outside world from knowing about the cloning, William had to use the phone numbers of three family members to reply to the text messages of his colleagues, classmates, and friends one by one.
Ed actually did not live up to this trust. After the 17-day training period was completed, the bodies of his wife Mona, eldest daughter Sophia, and son Matt were successfully cloned perfectly...
However, William did not transplant the consciousness of the three family members into their brains at this time, because in the previous consciousness transplantation experiment, the robot transplanted into the consciousness of the soldier awakened and destroyed all of its own machines by suicide. I am worried that such a thing will happen to my beloved family members. In order to buy more time for himself, William had to hypnotize all the family members who had just left the cloning cabin with anesthetic.
William, who was puzzled by his wife’s hand, suddenly realized an important truth from his wife’s brainwave response: It turned out that the previous experiment failed because consciousness transplantation is like organ transplantation. What the robot has is Human consciousness regards itself as an adult, and when it wakes up, it finds itself as a horrible machine part and cannot accept its appearance. It will naturally be frightened and rejected, and will self-dismantle by suicide!
After he was clear, William no longer had any doubts and worries, so he transplanted the consciousness of three family members into the brains of three cloned family members. As a result, the transplantation was really successful.
The three wives and children seemed to wake up from a big dream, completely unaware of what happened during this period. I woke up in the morning and started to eat and drink. None of the three realized that there was one missing person at home. The wife also went to morning exercises as usual, but found her stomach pain when she ran, and didn’t care about it anymore when she returned home...
On this day, William was called to the laboratory again because another soldier who had just died was brought over. But the brains of the military donor’s donors were lost and could not be used for transplantation. The boss, Jones, came over and threatened that if the experiment is unsuccessful, the project will be cancelled! Considering that he knows the truth of the experiment, transplanting his consciousness into the robot may not panic and reject the machine body; therefore, William ran into the bathroom with a set of memory extraction device and used a data length to target his lacrimal glands. He poked it in, copying his own consciousness...
Then, William modified his extracted consciousness to eliminate the hidden danger of rejecting his own machine body; then, transplanted the modified consciousness to the head of robot No. 345, and the experiment was a complete success.
But as time went by, Mona felt that three days of memory did not exist, and asked William that she remembered that the family was going to the beach for a cruise on vacation three days ago; and the eldest daughter Sophia also wondered and asked William "Who is Zoe?" because of the closet. There is Zoe’s name; the wife is also puzzled at this time. In her memory, she seems to remember that her daughter’s bed is a bunk... Sophia often has nightmares and dreams of car accidents...
As a result, William noticed that the memories of the three family members began to recover, and used a memory extractor in the warehouse alone to try to repair the consciousness of the three family members. At this time, his wife Mona entered the warehouse and saw all this. Helplessly, William told his wife the truth and comforted his wife, and his wife finally accepted the reality...
One night, boss Jones broke into the house, claiming that William’s family clone had been discovered by the company, and that the cloned family members had to be recovered by the company as the company’s property, and he forcibly asked William to hand over his consciousness extraction algorithm. William pleaded not to hurt his family, but Jones was so merciless; therefore, William used a consciousness extraction algorithm to knock Jones to the ground; then he drove his three family members and fled to the dock. As a result, due to Ed's betrayal, the four of William were still caught by Jones in the company...
In order to protect his family, William promised that he remembered the algorithm for extracting consciousness and could make another copy; Jones heard the words, feeling that Mona and others no longer have the value of threat, and shot Ed with a headshot and shot to death. Mona et al. At this time, Robot No. 345 came over. It turned out that Robot No. 345 was transplanted with William's meaning, so now Robot No. 345 is also another William, so he came to three family members desperately. Robot No. 345 knocked security guards, Jones, and others down. William took the opportunity to take 3 family members and escaped from the company; but when he was about to get in the car, William felt that he shouldn’t abandon his hard work in this way, so he returned to the company. , See Robot No. 345 is pressing Jones on the ground and rubbing...
William negotiated with Robot No. 345 to extract Jones’ consciousness first, and then copy Jones to replace it, so that everything is perfect; therefore, William extracted Jones’ consciousness and modified it to eliminate the cloning of family members...
Finally, William’s research was adopted by the company and successfully applied to those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, and the cloned Jones did not remember having a life-and-death conflict with William...
