The short story (Little Lost Robot) containing the Nestor series robot, happened off planet.
The movie was a strange collection of scenes from "Caves of Steel" and some of the ideas from "Little Lost Robot."
The movie happened on Earth and Elijah Bailey (Caves of Steel) was absent.
I agree, Sandman, entertaining movie, but Hollywood sure screwed up a good book. 
They better not screw up "The Foundation Triology" or I'm going to Hollywood armed.

Agree 1.000 % with Curly here.
I've just saw the trailer, and felt like a kick under the belt.
Asimov will be suffering in heaven for the use, or, better, association of his name with this movie.
In his works, the robots are physically incapable to kill, or simply threaten the humans, and, from what I've seen in the trailer, we have here almost a rebellion of the machines.
In Asimov's world the robots are the good incarnated, the "perfect man", the ethyc man, caring more for the others than himself, and in the Little Lost Robot novel, there's just a softening of the first law, not enough to make him a killer, and it's not one of the Elijah Bailey novels, but one with Susan "something" as principal actor (actress?).
As a last note, if they do harm to the foundation, I will be in first line covering Curly's six in his Hollywood assault.
