"Surrogates" - Official Trailer [HQ]

(feminine computer voice) Robotic human
surrogates combine the durability of machine,

with the grace and beauty of the human body.

With most people living their lives
through their surrogate selves,

our world has become a safer place.

Take a seat in your stem chair,

and just with the power of your mind,

you can control your surrogate,

and send it out into the real world.

You can live your life without limitations.

You see what they see

feel what they feel,

and become anyone you want to be

from the comfort and safety of your own home.

You can finally live the life
you've always dreamt of,

without any risk or danger to yourself.

(male voice)
We are confronted with an unprecedented situation.

Two people have died while
connected to their surrogates.

(different male)
I think we may actually have a homicide here.

First one in fifteen years.

(1st male)
The public can not be allowed to get the idea that

using a surrogate can be fatal.

(2nd male)
Especially if it's true.

I just want to know how an operater can be killed by

signals from their surrogate.

(woman)
Surrys have been blown to bits without

the least bit of harm to their operators.

(2nd woman)
If it were possible, it would defeat the entire purpose of the surrogate.

(woman)
Oh my god. Tom?

You're lucky to be alive.
Good thing you're unplugged.

How long is it since you've
been out without a surrogate?

I can't even remember.

It's different when you actually feel the pain.

What do you want from me?

I want my wife.

I am your wife.

No you're not.

You could change the world,
and now you want to destroy it?

How do I stop this?

You can't.

Maggie, get offline, I think
something's going to happen....

What happens now?

Now it's up to you.
