9

Student Academy Award winner Shane Acker directs his first feature, an animated fantasy epic produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov. When 9 (voiced by The Lord of the Rings' Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a community of other small creatures like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the landscape intent on doing them harm. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are ever to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them. Also featuring the voices of Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover and Fred Tatasciore.
