Influence of Isaac Asimov

At the beginning of the credits it reads "Suggested by Asimov's book". Although the story is attributed to Isaac Asimov's Robot Series, including a short story collection of the same name (Isaac Asimov's I, Robot), it is actually based on Hardwired, a spec script by Jeff Vintar. It also bears some resemblance to a pre-Asimov, 1939 science fiction short story, "I, Robot" by Eando Binder, concerning a sapient humanoid robot charged for the murder of its creator. Asimov's story collection was given the same name by its publisher against Asimov's wishes. The movie's plot is not directly based on any story or group of stories by Asimov. Some of Asimov's ideas about robots--most importantly the Three Laws of Robotics--were added to Vintar's script after the film's producers acquired the rights to the anthology title.

Reaction

The $120-million movie was a solid box-office success, earning almost $145 million in North America and more than $200 million overseas.
