In this science-fiction thriller set in the very near future, DNA cloning has been perfected and has become an accepted part of everyday life -- cattle and fish are cloned for sale at the market, genetically engineered fruit and vegetables are found in most family's kitchens (nacho-flavored bananas, anyone?), and if your pet dies, you can even order a cloned replacement. But laws have been passed that strictly forbid the cloning of human beings. However, helicopter pilot Adam Gibson (
Arnold Schwarzenegger), who believes people should live and die the old-fashioned way, discovers that someone has been violating these regulations. After Adam luckily avoids being on a copter that crashes, he comes home to discover someone has duplicated him. Now Adam is on a mission to find out who cloned him and why, as he struggles to take back his life from a scientifically created impostor, his boss Michael Drucker (
Tony Goldwyn), and a pair of thugs (
Sarah Wynter and
Rod Rowland) who have been cloned into near-indestructibility.
The 6th Day also stars
Robert Duvall as cloning expert Griffin Weir,
Michael Rooker as Drucker's right-hand man Robert Marshall, and
Michael Rapaport as Adam's partner, Hank Morgan.
