9 🎥 2009 Movie Info

Plot Summary

A scientist creates a robot for his government in the name of peaceful progress, making the highly intelligent Brain. However, the government seizes the Brain and turns it into the Fabrication Machine, an armature that can construct an army of war machines. The machines become corrupted and declare war on the humans. As a last resort, the scientist uses alchemy to create nine homunculus-like rag dolls called “Stitchpunks”, each labeled with a number, giving them portions of his own soul via a talisman. He dies upon completing the final Stitchpunk doll.

9 awakens sometime after the machines have destroyed all organic life on Earth and gone dormant. He ventures outside and meets 2, an elderly inventor Stitchpunk who gives him a working voice box. The last active machine, the Cat-Beast, attacks the pair, abducts 2, and takes the talisman. One-eyed healer 5 rescues 9 and takes him to Sanctuary, the tower of an empty cathedral that is home to other Stitchpunks; the dogmatic leader 1, his large bodyguard 8, and the eccentric fountain pen-fingered clairvoyant 6. Against 1’s demands, 9 and 5 follow the Cat-Beast to a factory and rescue 2.

The Cat-Beast attacks the trio, but they are saved by 7, the only confirmed female of the Stitchpunks. 9 curiously connects the talisman to the dormant Fabrication Machine, accidentally reviving it; it kills 2 by sucking out his soul, and the other Stitchpunks only barely manage to escape. 7 takes 9 and 5 to an abandoned library, where mute scholar twins 3 and 4 reveal the history of the Human-Machine war. 9 draws the symbols on the talisman, and 5 realizes the symbols match the drawings 6 is always making. 9 and 5 return to Sanctuary to investigate, but 1 reprimands them for disobeying and putting them all at risk.
