Hardware (film)

Hardware is a 1990 BritishAmerican postapocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by Richard Stanley and starring Dylan McDermott. Inspired by a short story in 2000 AD, the film depicts the rampage of a selfrepairing robot in a postapocalyptic slum.

Jill works the robot head into a sculpture, and Mo says that he likes the work, but he does not understand what it represents. Frustrated, Jill says it represents nothing and resents Mos suggestion that she make more commercial art to sell. They are interrupted by Alvy, who urges Mo to return to the shop, as he has important news about the robot, which he says is a M.A.R.K. 13. Before he leaves, Mo checks his Bible, where he finds the phrase No flesh shall be spared under Mark 1320, and he becomes suspicious that the robot is part of a government plot for human genocide. Mo finds Alvy dead of a cytotoxin and evidence that the robot is an experimental combat model capable of selfrepair Alvys notes also indicate a defect, a weakness to humidity. Worried, Mo contacts Shades and asks him to check on Jill, but Shades is in the middle of a drug trip and barely coherent.Back at the apartment, the robot has reassembled itself using pieces of Jills metal sculptures and recharged by draining her apartments power network. It attempts to kill Jill, but she traps it in a room after the apartments doors lock. Lincoln sees the robot close the blinds while trying to peep on Jill, and, after he briefly manages to open the apartment door and sexually harasses her, offers to override the emergency lock that traps them in her apartment. Lincoln dismisses her warnings of a killer robot, and, when he attempts to open Jills blinds so that he can more easily peep on her, the M.A.R.K.brutally kills him. Jill flees into her kitchen, where she reasons that her refrigerator will hide her from the robots infrared vision. She damages the robot before Mo, Shades, and the apartments security team arrive and open fire on it, apparently destroying it. ........
