[[File:
Starring [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], this [[Sci Fi]] movie takes place in a not-too-distant future where limited cloning technology has come into use for a number of things, from curing diseases to re-animating your pet to cloning fish as a food supply. However, cloning people is illegal. Arnie plays helicopter charter pilot Adam Gibson, a man who unintentionally gets involved with a human cloning cabal, who will kill him to protect their secrets.
The title comes from [[The Bible|Genesis 1:31]], "And on the sixth day God created man," which ends up being plot-relevant. The official title is "The 6th Day," not "The Sixth Day," changed to prevent it from being confused with [[The Sixth Sense|another film]] that came out the year before.
