9 is a 2009 adult animated science fiction horror film directed by Shane Acker, written by Pamela Pettler, and produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov. It is based on Acker’s Academy Award-nominated 2005 short film of the same name. Plot Overview
The movie is set in an alternate, post-apocalyptic version of the 1940s after a catastrophic war between humanity and machines has wiped out all human life. The protagonist, 9 (voiced by Elijah Wood), is the last of a group of hand-sewn, sentient rag dolls—known as Stitchpunks—created by a brilliant scientist. Each doll carries a fragment of the creator’s soul. Together, they must stop hiding from the terrifying mechanical monsters hunting them, go on the offensive, and discover why the machines want to destroy them to ensure the future of their world.
