The Killing Device

A brilliant but unstable scientist creates an advanced robotic weapon designed to eliminate terrorists. However, his creation, a powerful android, begins to develop its own consciousness and malfunctions, turning its lethal capabilities against its creator and innocent civilians alike. A former military operative is brought in to stop the rogue machine before it causes further devastation.
