Chappie (2015) follows a police robot in dystopian Johannesburg that gains consciousness after being stolen and reprogrammed by gangsters. Directed by Neill Blomkamp and starring Sharlto Copley as the voice of Chappie, Dev Patel, Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver, and musicians Ninja and Yolandi Visser from Die Antwoord, the film depicts a near-future where mechanized robots patrol crime-ridden streets. When programmer Deon Wilson is kidnapped by gang members Ninja, Yolandi, and Amerika, they force him to reprogram a damaged police droid. The robot, nicknamed Chappie, becomes the first machine with the ability to think and feel for himself. Raised by the gangsters like a child with Yolandi as a mother figure and Ninja training him in criminal activities, Chappie must navigate the influences around him while former soldier Vincent Moore pursues his own military robot agenda that threatens all scouts.
