Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov ) join forces to produce wunderkind
director Shane Acker's distinctively original tale. 9 stars Elijah
Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher
Plummer and Crispin Glover and features the music of Danny Elfman.
When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic
world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers
a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome
machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite
being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding
will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are
to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy
them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very
future of civilization may depend on them.
