Plot: (from Columbia Tri-Star)
Imagine a world free of incurable diseases… a world where animals are no
longer threatened by extinction, world hunger has been eradicated,
supermarkets are filled with genetically-engineered food and medical
laboratories are stocked with cloned human organs waiting to be transplanted...
a world so advanced the family pet can be cloned and even tailored to match
the décor of your home, or a virtual girlfriend can be designed to your exact
specifications… a remarkable world in which the one thing that has eluded man
since the beginning of time is finally within his reach—immortality.
But in this world of the near future, in which science has turned fiction into
fact, technology has a dark side. Even though it is strictly forbidden under The
6th Day Law— referring to the biblical passage "and God created man on the
sixth day"—a ruthless powerbroker is using his advanced genetic-engineering
technology to clone human beings for personal gain.
When Adam Gibson, an old-fashioned family man and decorated fighter pilot in
what was known as the Rainforest War, comes home one night to discover
that his life has been stolen by his clone, his perfect existence is erased.
Plunged into a sinister world of murder, corruption and high-tech deception, he
is torn from his family by thugs Marshall (Michael Rooker) and Talia (Sarah
Wynter), who have been sent to destroy him because they cloned the wrong
man. Adam is forced into a fight for his life with these relentless assassins,
virtually indestructible since, if killed, they can be cloned over and over again.
"The 6th Day" is director Roger Spottiswoode’s ("Under Fire," "Tomorrow
Never Dies") provocative, high-octane look at what happens when technology
falls into destructive, corrupt hands—and when one man refuses to be a pawn
in the deadly conspiracy.
Adam’s quest to get his life back leads to Replacement Technologies, a
company masterminded by Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn)—one of the
richest men in the world with financial ownership in everything from sports
teams to medical research—and his partner Griffin Weir (Robert Duvall), a
highly respected scientist. Now that Drucker has realized that Adam can
expose the secret that could destroy his empire, he sets out to kidnap and
murder him before he can tell a soul. But Drucker did indeed clone the wrong
man—because Adam Gibson isn’t going down without a fight.
