I, Robot (2004)

Corrected entry: In the beginning of one scene Spooner tells all the robots not to move, but when he is against the floor and Sonny leaves, a lot of the robots come towards him asking if they can help him. the point is that what they did conflicted with the Second Law, and what they did was not the First Law so why did they do it? (00:24:30)

Correction: The robots simply saw the possiblity that Spooner needed help - whether he really did or not. The first law "A robot cannot harm a human or, through inactivity, allow a human to be harmed," is so strongly programmed into the robots that the mere possibility eliminates any orders gave them under the Second Law. Therefore, they moved.
