Surrogates (Cert 12), Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, Sci-Fi Thriller, £15.99

RECLUSIVE genius Dr Lionel Carter (James Cromwell) oversees a future in which humans slip on virtual-reality goggles and take control of robotic doppelgangers to carry out day-to-day tasks. When Dr Carter's son is murdered, seemingly while connected to a surrogate, the scientist entreats FBI Agent Greer (Bruce Willis) and his partner Jennifer Peters (Radha Mitchell) to apprehend the man responsible, Miles Strickland (Jack Noseworthy), who is in possession of an 'overload device', which literally fries the brain of the surrogate and its user. Miles is hiding in the Dread Zone, an area of the city ruled by The Prophet (Ving Rhames) and his followers, who vehemently reject surrogates. Surrogates is a futuristic action thriller with an intriguing premise.
