Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings -- some good, some bad -- and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there's one thing that makes Chappie different from any one else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. That's a dangerous idea -- and it's a challenge that will pit Chappie against powerful, destructive forces that would ensure that he is the last of his kind.
