action
In 2015: Computers are much more advanced and more common. There are intelligent holograms that can interact with the environment, and energy weapons that fire fast, glowing projectiles have replaced normal handguns. DNA testing is commonplace, and pet deceased cloning is even a business. Human cloning, on the other hand, has been banned since an initial attempt went catastrophically wrong; however, various influential figures are trying to overturn this law.
Adam Gibson is a helicopter pilot who runs a small charter company with his friend Hank Morgan. He gets a job from entrepreneur Michael Drucker, who runs a pet cloning company. Gibson and Morgan will take DNA samples and perform "eye tests" on the pretext that the insurance company requires appropriate tests. Drucker demands Gibson as a pilot; Morgan offers to take over the flight so Gibson can celebrate his birthday.
An anti-clone fanatic assaulted Morgan and Drucker during the assignment, killing both of them. Gibson, who comes home in the evening, finds that his house is home to a man who looks just like him - a clone. Gibson was apparently mistakenly cloned after the attack because of the said swap action, as Michael Drucker's company wanted to cover up the incident and let it live on as a clone. To make the whole thing believable, they also had to clone the pilot, who they believed was Adam Gibson. When the mistake is revealed, Gibson is hunted by Drucker's killers because he is not allowed to be seen together with his clone. If this were to happen, it would be clear that the "sixth day law," which forbids human cloning, has been broken. Gibson can kill the killers set on him, but these are replaced by clones that continue the hunt.
The clones are not only a perfect copy of the original, they also have their complete memories due to encephaloscans. Griffin Weir, a scientist working for Drucker, had also cloned his terminally ill wife after her death, but, as with (almost) all other clones, a disease was built into the DNA that limits the life of the clones in order to allow them to cooperate (and thus the prospect of cloning again). When Weir's wife dies of such an illness, forcing her husband to promise not to clone her again, Weir becomes a broken man and decides to quit his job for Drucker. But the latter kills Weir in order to clone him and his wife again with some memory modifications; However, Weir succeeds in informing Gibson about the machinations of Drucker and giving him his only memory copy. When Drucker finds out, he has Gibson's wife and daughter kidnapped as leverage.
Gibson teams up with his doppelganger, and the two of them work together to storm Drucker's headquarters and free the prisoners. Gibson is captured and Drucker reveals to him that he is not the original, but the clone, which could not be withdrawn in time before the real Gibson returned to his family (making the clone the main character up to that moment of the film). Gibson II manages to escape, seriously affecting the clone labs; Drucker, fatally injured by an accident of his men, tries desperately to clone himself again, but the transfer is not perfect, and the dying Drucker sees himself in his final moments with his new, physically immature self and his own selfishness - and with it him Failure of his own image of God - confronted.
The original Gibson now manages to keep his family safe, and he comes to the aid of his clone just before the laboratory is destroyed by their sabotage and Drucker comes to his deserved (and final) end. In the end, the two Gibsons split up in friendship; Gibson II begins his own charter company and a new life in Argentina as Gibson happily embraces his family again.

It is “not uninteresting in the problem definition”, but the topic is “never deepened and only used as a contourless star vehicle”.
