When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

9 Online (2009) Movie Trailer
The film begins with the Scientist creating a little mechanical humanoid homonculus (called “stitchpunks” by fans and throughout this article) The Scientist tells how humanity, in its blind pursuit of science and technology, went to its doom. He finally gives life to the doll with a talisman , and then dies.
The rope holding 9 up snaps, causing him to fall to the ground, awakening him. He pushes open shutters and sees a terrifying post-apocalyptic world, with a figure walking below him. He tries to call out to them, but finds he can not speak. He takes the talisman, which fell when he did, depositing it in the opening of his body under the zipper, and leaves the building to find whoever was walking below.
Outside, he sees several human corpses. 9 hears someone close, and then he meets 2 (Martin Landau), another, highly intelligent and inventive, stitchpunk created by the Scientist, who inserts a doll’s speaking device into 9 and becomes his friend. 2 tells 9 that there are others like themselves. 9 shows 2 the talisman, when suddenly the Cat Beast appears and attacks 2. 9 accidentally rocks the can he is hiding in, drawing the attention of the Cat Beast.
The Cat Beast searches the can 9 hides in, but 2 distracts the Cat Beast allowing 9 to escape, tearing his shoulder badly in the process. The Cat Beast captures 2 and takes him to a towering factory on the horizon. 9 struggles to go on, limping and staggering very weakly, but passes out and collapses right as 5 spots him from the watchtower.
