9

Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, Beetlejuice, Nightmare Before Christmas) and producer/director Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Day Watch, Night Watch) join forces to produce director Shane Acker's distinctively original and thrilling tale.

The time is the too-near future. Powered and enabled by the invention known as the Great Machine, the world's machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest, decimating the human population before being largely shut down. But as our world fell to pieces, a mission began to salvage the legacy of civilization; a group of small creations was given the spark of life by a scientist in the final days of humanity, and they continue to exist post-apocalypse.

With their group so few, these "stitchpunk" creations must summon individual strengths well beyond their own proportions in order to outwit and fight against still-functioning machines, one of which is a marauding mechanized beast.

Watch a clip from 9 ("Waking the Beast") where the beast is awakened and 9 and the others join to bring the beast down.
