Chappie 🎥 2015 Movie Info

Plot Summary

A skyrocketing crime rate leads the dystopian city of Johannesburg, South Africa to buy a squadron of scouts—state-of-the-art armor-plated attack robots—from weapons manufacturer Tetravaal. These autonomous androids were developed by British scientist Deon Wilson and largely supplant the overwhelmed human police force.A competing project within Tetravaal is the remote-controlled heavy weapons platform MOOSE, developed by Australian soldier-turned-engineer Vincent Moore.

Deon is praised for Tetravaal’s success, but Vincent grows envious when the police will not give his project equal attention.At home, Deon creates a prototype artificial intelligence that mimics a human mind, feeling emotions and having opinions, but Tetravaal CEO Michelle Bradley refuses to permit testing the A.I. on a police robot. Undeterred, he takes a recently damaged one before it is destroyed, putting it in his van, along with the “guard key” needed to update its software.Heading home with the damaged robot, Deon is kidnapped by gang members Ninja, Yolandi, and Amerika. When he explains Tetravaal does not have remote controls for the police robots, they order him to reprogram it instead.

Deon installs the new software into the damaged robot, which then responds with childlike trepidation upon powering up. Deon and Yolandi calm it, teach it words, and name it “Chappie”. Despite Deon wanting to stay with Chappie, Ninja forces him out of their hideout.Ninja’s gang only has a few days to pay a debt of 20 million rand to Hippo. Yolandi sees Chappie as a child and wants to mother him, but Ninja grows impatient with his development due to both the impending deadline for the debt and Chappie’s irreplaceable battery running out, giving him days to live.Ninja leaves Chappie in a dangerous neighborhood to fend for himself to train him to become a gangster. After being wounded by thugs, he is followed by Vincent, who plans to deactivate all Tetravaal scouts except for MOOSE.
