Part 2/8:
The film is set in a near-future Earth, where remnants of humanity have gathered in safe cities to escape the barren wasteland outside. The ROC Corporation has developed the Pilgrim 7000 series, primitive humanoid robots designed to support the dwindling human population by helping to rebuild and perform manual labor. These robots are governed by two distinct protocols that prevent them from harming life and altering themselves or other robots. While initially viewed as humanity's saviors, the Pilgrim robots find their roles diminished as they fail to address the problems of desertification, relegated instead to servitude.
