A police officer specializes in runaway robots in the near future. When a robot becomes homicidal, he begins to unravel a mastermind's plot to create killer robot weapons, and then the policeman becomes a target himself.

I forgot about this movie. I've seen it on late night TV, though it was a long time ago, and probably too late at night, so my memory is a little rusty. Killer robot-spiders and robot maids.

This isn't one of Michael Crichtons best, but worth a watch.
 
Not a bad movie, I really liked it. Gene Simmons was quoted: "I love being the bad guy in a movie."
 
Carrot Top will play the bad guy in the remake so the audience really enjoys the schadenfreude when he gets it. The producers considered JarJar Binks, but figured he was too annoying.
