Help, I’m looking for the names of movies which feature nanotechnology… like **Fantastic Voyage** , for instance… ---

Hulk. In the movie he gets his rapid healing from nanomeds. ---

Do a search on “nanotech” in plots at [imdb.com](http://imdb.com). **Ballistic: Ecsks vs. Sever**. **Kill.Switch.** **Stratosphere.** Not a movie, but **Jake 2.0**. Also, **The President’s Analyst** featured a cell phone small enough to be inhaled. I don’t know that Fantastic Voyage counts, actually… ---

Was the Terminatrix in T3 based on nanotech? Or at least employ it (to control other machines IIRC). Been a while since I’ve seen it. If you’re counting Fantastic Voyage then that movie where Dennis Quaid gets injected into Martin Short’s ass counts too. Innerspace? ---

Not a movie, I know, but plenty of episodes of Star Trek : Voyager made much use of Seven Of Nine’s nanobots. ---

If we’re including TV, the _Red Dwarf_ crew spent a season chasing the ship, which had been stolen by nanos. They had episodes with various other kinds as well. ---

In I, Robot, they used a syringe full of nano machines to destroy the evil overlord robot brain. ---

Thanks for the suggestions; **Ethilrist** , after I posted I was thinking that _Fantastic Voyage_ didn’t really fit what I had asked for… I don’t know all the movies you’ve all suggested so I’ll be checking some of them out a bit more - ideally, I’m looking for a film using nanotech interestingly enough, either ethically or scientifically, to launch a discussion off of after a screening of the film… ---
