Arnold Schwarzenegger gets cloned in this one. Could we handle two Arnolds in one film? As it turns out, two Arnolds did not help the box office numbers for this one — this continued the steady decline in grosses for his films after Batman & Robin (1997).

This is somewhat of a shame, because this film does have merit. It does fall back on standard action cliches in a couple of spots, but most of it revolves around the ethical themes of cloning and passages of suspense.

It's sometime in the near future — cloning pets is now standard practice, reflecting real life issues when the possibility of such procedures became possible in our real world, raising questions about whether grieving pet owners should indulge in such service.

Cloning humans is still prohibited, but that's the main plot thrust of the story — that humans do get cloned.

Schwarzenegger plays a pilot who accidentally gets cloned due to a cover up after a prominent executive (Tony Goldwyn) has been killed. Schwarzenegger was believed to have also been killed; that's why he was cloned. But, that was a mix-up, so now there are two of him, the clone having been placed with the pilot's family and taking over his life.
