In a not-so-distant future, humans live in near-total isolation, interacting with the world through idealized robotic versions of themselves called “surrogates.” These machines allow people to live without risk, pain, or imperfection—until a shocking murder of a surrogate, and its operator, threatens to unravel the illusion of safety. FBI agent Tom Greer (Bruce Willis) is assigned to investigate, but the deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: something is terribly wrong beneath the surface.
As Greer uncovers a conspiracy involving a tech corporation, anti-surrogate radicals, and the government itself, he’s forced to abandon his own surrogate and re-enter the world in his vulnerable human form. Every step brings him closer to a truth that challenges the very foundation of identity, control, and freedom in this synthetic society.
Caught between duty and personal loss, Greer’s journey becomes more than an investigation—it’s a battle for what it means to be human. Stripped of his technological shell, he must rediscover instinct, connection, and the consequences of real choices in a world built to avoid them.
Surrogates is a sleek, thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that explores the cost of perfection, the seduction of artificial life, and the fragile lines between man and machine in a society too afraid to live in its own skin.
