I, Robot (2004)

I, Robot is a 2004 science fiction thriller directed by Alex Proyas (The Crow). Set in the year 2035, the film stars Will Smith as Del Spooner, a technophobic detective with the Chicago Police Department who is assigned a murder case that involves the grisly death of his friend, who was an inventor at U.S. Robotics, a corporation that has made anthropomorphic robots the norm in society. Though the book "I, Robot" was published in 1950 by science fiction author Isaac Asimov, it was actually a collection of nine short stories loosely related around a central concept of robots and how they relate to human beings. In some of the stories, there is the character Dr. Susan Calvin, chief robopsychologist at U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men (which was changed to U.S. Robotics for the film, which is a the name of a real company). Several movies have been made from some of the short stories, but a film of the entire book (and its different elements) has never been made. While sharing the same title, this film is only very loosely based on the book, but does feature the famous Three Laws of Robotics.

The following weapons were used in the film I, Robot:

Detective Spooner's Pistol (Dressed-up Taurus Model 85)

Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) carries a futuristic custom pistol that is supposed to be a Semiautomatic 9mm. It is built from a two-part plastic shell, including parts molded from a Walther P99, that has a real Taurus Model 85 .38 special revolver hidden inside. Lieutenant Bergin (Chi McBride) and all the other Chicago PD officers appear to also have the sidearm. It is seen in the film next to loaded 9mm magazines, and is holstered with like magazines in adjoining mag pouches, indicating the weapon is meant to be a mag-fed automatic. The same prop was later used in Stargate SG-1 in Season 9, Episode 4. Some more detailed images of the gun's interior can be found here.
