Welcome to Movie Shortens. Follow us today to a 2020 Australian science-fiction action called:
Monsters of Men. Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
We begin this film with Angie running terrified through the jungles of Cambodia. She is injured
after a few steps. Looking back in horror to see an armed robot coming closer to her.
She desperately tries to escape, but can't due to her injury. We then come to see Major Robert Green
give the order to speed things up, watching on his computer
screen as the robot advances to kill her Foster gets a call from Jantz saying that his team
has landed and receives confirmation that they are to proceed with their mission. Jantz, Kroger
and Fielding are picked up by Boller who hurriedly gets everyone on the way to their destination.
Four of the same armed robots are being taken away on a military plane
and flown off to The Golden Triangle. The Foster Team arrives at their destination
and are taken to a tiny house. This is to be their set-up point for their assignment.
Boller then promptly leaves with Jantz who is to set up a
drop point link at a separate location. Major Green receives a call from Boller who
is en route with Jantz to location Alpha. Later on, Keala is watching over Leap and a
group of children working on a small house. Mason is also helping with construction.
After that, he is invited to come eat with Keala and the children.
Jantz and Bollo arrive deep in the jungle and rush off ahead. Meanwhile back at the house, Fielding
sets up the tech with Kroger. Kroger starts up on some weapons coding, but Fielding thought
they were only doing a navigation test. Bollo and Jantz narrowly avoid a bomb trap
set up by Prak and the smugglers. They move out of sight as a patrol walks by
almost being caught while hiding. In another part of the jungle, a group
of doctors named Jordan, Dez, Angie, Wendy, Tien and Bao are halted from running over a spike trap
with their van. Attempting to locate a village in the Golden Triangle,
they continue to walk the rest of the way. Bollo and Jantz stop and set up the communication
equipment. They confirm the setup with Kroger and Fielding, and leave while Bollo
sets up a separate backup plan. Foster then calls Kroger to give Major
Green screen access, monitoring the mission. Kroger is notified there may be an objective
change from the original mission and informs Jantz. Jantz is forcibly silenced by Bollo and he
watches the group of doctors cross their path. The group stops a short while after for a break.
They are startled as Leap and a group of kids pretend to confront them with fake guns.
Jantz and Bollo arrive back at the house and get ready to drop the robots.
Bollo secures the robot's camera links with Major Green who confirms the robots time to land.
The plane gets ready to drop the robots while at the same time, the group of doctors spot
the plane underneath. Leap and Mason also notice the plane, and the robots parachute down.
Robot BR-4's parachute doesn't open correctly, it's signal is lost upon landing. Major Green
reaffirms the operation is still a go. The rest of the robots activate, but BR-3 has a comm module
issue. Fielding states that if they lose the comm, they lose control of the robot. And if they lose
control, the robots will target anyone. The robots move out as the doctors reach Keala
and Mason and ask for help. Being followed by the local smugglers, Keala tries to send them away.
The Prak questions the doctor's origins and orders them to leave.
Meanwhile, the BR's arrive at the tech jantz set up earlier. Major orders a new mission objective
and Kroger is forced to update the mission codes. While this is being done BR-4 comes back to life,
though it's module is damaged. Kroger has to take the night to fix it.
The doctors spend the evening in Keala's village while the smugglers watch them.
Dez asks Mason about his military service. Jason blames him for not dealing
with the smugglers and they almost fight. The next morning, the tech team is surprised to
see the BR's start to move by themselves. They open a case of weapons and arm themselves.
Meanwhile, Leap leaves with his friends, forcing the group of doctors to stay
longer in the village. Leap comes across BR-4 and takes its module.
It springs to life and the children flee. The smugglers try to force the doctors to leave,
but are interrupted by Leap. The Bar's track Prak and his men to Keala's village. Kroger
activates them, and they proceed to attack everyone in the village.
Feilding and Jantz attempt to stop the attack, but Bollo threatens them to follow orders.
Mason meets up with the doctors, Keala and Leap and tries to find a way out.
A BR locates their hiding spot and attacks. They all escape while Mason distracts the robots.
While escaping they are all identified by Major Green and his team. Major Green
orders the tech team to eliminate them all and leave no witnesses.
Everyone gets scattered, while Mason and Keala lead a group of children away. However, they end
up dead as he is unable to save them in time. Mason and Keala run to hide, but Mason gets
injured from a robot's attack. They continue to flee and are found by Jason, Dez and Tien.
Meanwhile BR-4 is gathering information on the group, slowly becoming more self aware.
Fielder protests that the attacks weren't what her team signed up for. Bollo claims she is wrong,
stating that everyone involved with the project is accountable, especially their tech team.
Shortly after, we come back to see Angie running for her life.
She is badly injured by the BR-2 while running and falls to the ground. She desperately tries
to escape but is cruelly killed. Meanwhile Mason's group has found a
cave to hide in. Tien gives some first aid to Mason, and they wait through the night.
During the night Bao is on his own, and severely injures his leg. He cries out in pain,
and is heard by Mason's group. Jason tries to leave but is forced by Mason to stop stating
they all die if he leaves. Bao continues to flee,
but can't move far. BR-2 eventually finds him in hiding and Bao dies. The remaining doctors mourn
him, but are unable to do anything. BR-4 hacks into the tech teams system,
and attempts to communicate with them. It also starts gaining
information about itself, alarming the team. Mason orders BR-4 to be self destructed, but BR-4
blocks the command. They try to activate a bomb to destroy it, but can't because it would destroy
the tech links to the remaining robots. BR-4 further hacks into the tech systems,
and Bollo destroys the connection to all the robots, blocking the hack.
As they attempt to fix the damage, Foster orders the team to stop BR-4 from uploading the hacked
information. They task BR-2 and 3 to capture Number 4 while BR-1 hunts Mason's group.
The next morning, Mason leaves the cave and finds Bao's body. He sees BR-2 and
distracts it with a landmine he found. He gets the rest of the group and leaves.
They arrive at the snuggling plant and meet up with Wendy, Prak and Leap.
BR-1 takes them all by surprise by suddenly attacking. Peak defends them while they all
flee once more hiding in a small house. They are found and Dez is almost killed,
but Mason saves his life. Prak dies while defending Keala and Leap. BR-1 advances and again,
Mason saves Leap and Keala. Jason attacks as well, but stumbles
and loses his weapon. Mason attacks the robot with some lumber, but is kicked aside.
He quickly races to a weapons pile and sets up a landmine. He shoots it, crippling its leg.
As he goes to finish it off, the tech team sets off the self-destruct timer,
but Mason barely survives. Shortly after we see Leap unharmed, but Kaela is seriously injured.
Tien and Wendy try to save her. As Leap mourns the loss of Prak,
he claims this all to be his fault because he stole BR-4's module.
They eventually leave, while Bollo voices concerns to Major Green over the mission's many problems.
The tech team starts tracking the module in Leap's possession and Major Green criticizes
the quality of Foster's robots. Foster blames the highly trained Mason
and claims he should never have been in the area. Foster goes on the call to light the
fact that the doctor's presence was also not a part of the original mission.
BR-3 finally locates and attacks BR-4. BR-4 displays new abilities and eludes BR-3.
BR-4 surprise attacks 3, and the battle ensues. BR-4 traps 3, and Bollo calls to self-destruct 3.
Foster disagrees, wanting to save BR-4's higher functioning brain.
BR-4 uses 3 to start uploading again and Bolo commands the tech team to
blow up BR-3. BR-4 surprises everyone by not only disarming the explosive,
but removing BR-3's control module as well. Bollo prompts he must enter the field and tag BR-4
so that a drone strike can destroy it. Kroger suggests that he instead implant
BR-3 with an upgraded module to overtake 4. Fielding tries to contact her husband Bill to
help expose the operation. Confronted by Bollo, she tries to escape.
She attacks him during the chase and flees into the street but stumbles and hurts her
ankle shortly after. He eventually tracks her down, killing her and taking her phone.
Bollo calls a contact to eliminate Bil, while he commands Jantz and Kroger to vacate the house.
Bill is swiftly killed by Bollo's contact. Upon exit, Bollo blows up the house and
the team leaves. Back in the jungle,
Mason's group is still in hiding, but are slowed by Keala and Dez' injuries. They try to hide
further, but are discovered by BR-2. Jordan is separated from the group but attacks the robot.
Leading it away he attempts to rejoin the group. Unfortunately reaching a dead end,
he narrowly escapes the robots notice. He rejoins the group but BR-2 is in hot pursuit.
Back at their new setup Bollo prepares to leave, but not before threatening Jantz and Kroger as
well as their loved ones. Bolo enters the jungle while Mason's group enters a cave system.
Bolo gives BR-3 the upgraded module and it sprints off.
Back in the cave the group rests, but is surprised by a blind old man. They move along and find a
place to hide and rest for the night. As the group wakes up in the morning,
Keala is suffering internal damage from her injury. Wendy and Tien try to fix her, while
Jordan and Mason try to distract the robot. However, Mason is found and flees, but trips
and hurts himself. BR-2 discovers Jason and the group and Jason bravely defends them.
Mason again lures it away and BR-2 gets stuck in the rocks and is unable to escape.
They cross over the stuck BR-2 and move outside. Bollo follows BR-3, while Jantz vents to Foster.
Jantz warns Kroger they probably won't be getting out of the situation alive.
As Mason's group continues along, Keala dies in Mason's arms. They lay her at a nearby temple,
but are discovered by BR-2 yet again. They flee through the temple and the group splits.
Leap leads Dez, Wendy and Tien out while Jordan and Mason stay to fight the robot.
Leap's group makes it out of the temple, leaving Mason and Jason. The two also escape
while Bollon and BR-3 close in on BR-4. Dez collapses in pain, and he joins Mason to
find Leap's group again. Leap gives Mason the module, and he leaves to throw it away.
The group splits again, this time Jordan leaves with the girls and Mason is with Leap and Dez.
Mason tries to distract BR-2 but fails as it injures Wendy a short distance away. Dez runs
in pursuit but dies stepping on a landmine. BR-2 grabs Leap and Mason intervenes. He is
about to be killed by BR-2 when BR-4 attacks and uploads again from Number 2, saving Mason.
The tech team tries desperately to prevent the upload,
but fails. They cut their online connection, but Mason loses visuals on the situation.
BR-4 destroys Number 2 as Leap tries to escape with an unconscious Mason. Meanwhile
Jantz tries to convince Kroger to lead. Kroger begs him to stay and he does.
BR-4 confronts Mason and asks him who he is. BR-4 puts its module back in and continues uploading
but is stopped by Jantz and Kroger. BR-4 condems Mason for harming people
when he was a soldier. BR-4 claims itself to be alive and Mason a soldier of death.
Suddenly BR-3 attacks Number 4 while the group flees. Bollo appears as well, injuring Jason.
Mason stays to battle Bollo. Leap goes back for Mason. BR-3 and 4 continue to struggle,
and Mason takes down Bollo with a landmine. Brillo gets back up but is stopped by BR-4,
and tells Mason that life is indeed important. BR-4 starts
it's own self destruction, and succeeds. Later on, Forester claims the mission a success,
blackmailing Major Green into a business deal. Major Green
then kills Kroger and severely injures Jantz, finally leaving his office.
The remainder of Mason's group escapes and they all finally escape the jungle.
In the final scene BR-4 uploads himself into another BR robot in a factory,
coming to life again. Like and Subscribe to watch more videos like this,
