A robotics division of the police force was created to deal with "runaways." Those would be robots that have gone haywire and need to be fixed or shutdown. Why that would fall under the police's jurisdiction is beyond me. I would think that the Geek Squad would be more suited for that job.At any rate, when a mysterious computer chip is found in a runaway and a man is killed by a bullet that acted more like a guided missile, Jack Ramsay (Tom Selleck) uncovers a sinister plot.This movie is not too far from reality. I don't ever see the police force getting a robotics division but check out what was in the movie that is now normal: floater cameras (known as drones today), robots doing all kinds of jobs, smart devices, and chipped bullets (OK, that's not normal but I could see that happening).Like so many movies about technology and computers, this was about such things getting into the wrong hands.
In the near future, robots are everywhere and malfunctioning robots are called Runaways. Sgt. Jack Ramsay (Tom Selleck) leads a specialized police squad which handles such incidents. New recruit Karen Thompson (Cynthia Rhodes) is his new partner. As they investigate a robot homicide, Ramsay discovers non-standard circuitry in the robot. They go up against Dr. Charles Luther (Gene Simmons) with his killer spider robots and guided bullets. The investigation leads to Vectrocon where executive secretary Jackie Rogers (Kirstie Alley) is cornered by a robot.It's been over 30 years since I first saw this movie. I remember liking it but not loving it. After seeing it again recently, some new holes appear along with the old remembered holes. First, it makes little sense that city cops would go out into the country to catch agricultural robots. It didn't really occur to me back then. There are some good ideas from Michael Crichton. He tries his best for advanced robots but this movie needed CGI effects. The robots don't scream needing specialized cops. They need mechanics. It would make more sense for a movie like iRobot and that needs a leap in movie effects. This is more or less a cop movie. Selleck is perfectly capable of playing a cop and Gene Simmons has functional menace. That part mostly works. It has some slow sections and Crichton as a director has his limitations. Also, some humor wouldn't hurt. This movie is before its time and falters sometimes due to it.
