Bruce Willis in another action movie. This time, he's too old for the action scenes, so they got a surrogate to do it for him. Just kidding.In 2017, technology is so advanced that people live their lives using avatars or surrogates. They log on to the network and their personal surrogates do their bidding in the real world. In general, surrogates are better looking and more behaved. Each avatar is keyed to the owner, so the police can easily track you down if you do any mischief. Also, any damage to the surrogate doesn't affect the operator, as the connection is remote. At least, that's how it's supposed to work.
Somehow, someone was able to circumvent this security features and start killing people off by killing their surrogates. And it's up to Tom Greer (Bruce Willis) and his partner Peters (Radha Michell) to stop him. Turns out Dr. Canter, who pioneered surrogate technology, uses an avatar to head an anti-surrogate group, as he believes humans have taken surrogates too far. Dr. Canter later manages to take over the surrogate of Peters and force the sysad to upload a virus into the surrogate network. 
Once activated, the virus will kill off everyone on the network (surrogates AND humans). Tom stops Dr. Canter in time, and with the help of the sysad, insulates the human operators from the virus. He did also have a choice of saving the surrogates, but he decided not to. All the surrogates were destroyed by the virus, and the humans come out of their houses looking confused.
