The 6th Day is a 2000 action film directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The action hero plays family man Adam Gibson, who is cloned against his will in the future of 2015. Schwarzenegger received a salary of $25 million for his role in the film.

Plot

The film opens in the year 2015 at a XFL game in which one of the players, Johnny Phoenix, is seriously injured. As he is taken away in an ambulance, a Millenium Security agent, Robert Marshall, kills him by turning the life support machines off. However, the news the next day announces that he will return for the next games, including an interview with the healthy Phoenix stating that the injury was only minor. It is later made clear that he has been illegally and secretly cloned by his team managers. (While animal cloning is now perfectly normal, human cloning has been banned for years.)
