机器纪元

21世纪中叶，地球环境遭到巨大的破坏，人类文明和信仰不可遏止地崩塌。在一片乱象的关头，名为ROC的科技公司凭借他们研发的“朝圣者 7000”智能机器人迅速崛起。朝圣者深入民间每一个角落，帮助人们从生到死处理身边的一切事务。在两条根本原则的约束下，机器人们任劳任怨，不辞辛苦，与此同时也遭遇种种残酷无情的对待。贾克·波根（安东尼奥·班德拉斯 Antonio Banderas 饰）是ROC旗下的一名保险理赔员，在工作中他意外发现，许多朝圣者不仅被人私自篡改，连根本原则都遭到破坏。机器人们或伤害他人，或者自残，令贾克隐隐察觉背后似乎有什么阴谋存在。 　　他离开城市前往贫民窟寻找真相，在此见识到机器人可丽儿自我修复的神奇一幕。而执着的追索，也将贾克置身于莫大的危险中央……In 2044, solar storms have killed 99.7 % of the world's population and only 21 million people survive. The ROC Corporation has designed and built robots called Automata Pilgrim 7000 to help to rebuild the world. These robots have two security protocols; they can neither harm humans nor alter themselves or other robots. When police officer Sean Wallace shoots a robot and claims that it was altering itself, ROC insurance agent Jacq Vaucan is placed in charge of the investigation. Soon he believes that there is a "clocksmith" illegally modifying the robots. Jacq wants to live in the coast and asks his boss and friend Robert Bold to transfer him with his pregnant wife Rachel Vaucan to the coast. Robert offers the possibility if Jacq resolves the case. Jacq and Wallace go to a brothel where the modified robot Cleo attends and Wallace shoots its leg, expecting that the owner will lead them to the clocksmith. They meet Duprè but she is not the clocksmith that is modifying the robots. Soon Jacq discovers who is the responsible for modifying the robots but the Powers that Be in ROC believe that Jacq is the one to be blamed.
