Chappie tells the story of an experimental robot humanoid with artificial intelligence who is “a gentle presence with a bulletproof metal skin programmed to paint pictures, write poetry and have original ideas.” According to the synopsis, he is stolen by two local gangsters who want to use him for their own purposes. As his adventure plays out he builds up the capacity to think and feel for himself resulting in the next step of robot evolution.
The film stars Sharlto Copley as the voice of Chappie, and he also did the motion capture work for the character as well. It also stars Ninja and Yolandi Visser, of the South African Zef counter-culture movement and members of rap-rave duo Die Antwoord, as the two gangsters.
