Bruce Willis in Surrogates (2009)
People are living their lives remotely from the safety of their own homes via robotic surrogates -- sexy, physically perfect mechanical representations of themselves. It's an ideal world where crime, pain, fear and consequences don't exist. When the first murder in years jolts this utopia, FBI agent Greer (Willis) discovers a vast conspiracy behind the surrogate phenomenon and must abandon his own surrogate, risking his life to unravel the mystery.

    • Quotes
      • Older Canter: I changed the course of human history when I created surrogates. Now I'm going to change it back.
      • Tom Greer: You don't change what's been done. You and I know that better than most people.
      • Older Canter: My son's death will not have been in vain. Not if it heals mankind.
      • Tom Greer: Heals mankind? That's what you want to do? You want to kill everyone? That's going to heal mankind?
      • Older Canter: They're already dead. The died the minute they plugged into those machines.
      • Tom Greer: This is not the solution.
      • Older Canter: That's the way it is.
      • Tom Greer: That's not the way it is!
      • Older Canter: I had a vision. I was going to empower the powerless. To enable others like me to walk, to feel, to have a normal life.
      • Tom Greer: Listen to me! They're going to call you a murderer. That's what you're doing.
      • Older Canter: Surrogacy is a perversion. It's an addiction. And you have to kill the addict to kill the addiction.
      • Computer Voice: Upload complete.
      • Older Canter: You're too late. What I've done can't be stopped. Now you're going to be a witness to the rebirth of humanity. That's my gift to you.
