Surrogates

Based on the graphic novel by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele, Surrogates is the story of a transformation of the human experience. FBI Agent Tom Greer (Willis) lives in a world where robotic surrogates stand in for people, protecting them from violence, contagion—and the appearance of aging. These picture-perfect, real-life avatars—fit, good-looking, remotely controlled machines that assume their operator's life role—enable the population to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Greer and his partner, Agent Peters (Mitchell), are called in to probe the mysterious death of a college student, whose life ended when his surrogate was destroyed. When Greer's surrogate is damaged in the investigation, he ventures out of his apartment for the first time in decades. In a world of masks, Greer must decide who is real and who can be trusted.
