    It would technically be the fifth law.

    Zeroth Law - A robot may not injure humanity or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.

              Was there a movie? Mind you it’s been like 15 years since I read robots and empire but

              Allowing the earth to be radiation poisoned would kill people but force the humans off earth

              Like I’d love some good robots movies. Robots of Dawn would likely struggle with reception, and honestly so would Under the Naked Sun but Caves of Steel? Less so.

                  Why would anyone put will smith in this movie, or call it I, Robot, much less I have to assume they combined robots and empire with caves of steel and that’s a shit decision as well‽

                    They actually took a bunch of elements of the short story collection and jammed them together. The worst is what they did to Susan Calvin…

                    Ignoring the butchery, it’s a pretty generic action movie. Very forgettable. Adding what they did to the source material makes it a straight tragedy.
