B plot has a bunch of injured vets, many with these limbs, picketing congress and marching around inside the offices trying to petition lawmakers about getting benefits that they’re owed but are being stalled by budget talks.
A plot could be a spy thriller, John C Everyman investigating evil tech bro over whatever nonsense. Finds out all too late that the evil tech bro owns the company manufacturing those limbs, and wants to install a puppet government. The only way to stop them is to literally shut them all off remotely. The vets are running all over, unable to stop themselves, attempting to lock down and assassinate representatives.
Everything resolves as hundreds of injured veterans literally fall limp all over the halls of Congress. The media eats up the protest, the vets get their benefits, John C Everyman goes on to pick up another case. Evil Tech bro lives to plot again. Or dies being ripped to shreds by his own limbs. Who cares.
In reality, he’d live to plot again and suffer no consequences.
Good thing this is fiction :)
Also, extra points if the movie ends by replacing the proprietary backdoored software with Linux :P
imagine having prosthetic cyberlegs and being able to say you run on Arch (btw)
Yeah that’ll be an Easter egg joke at the beginning of the movie. There’ll be a guy jogging on the national Mall talking to his jogging partner about how he jailbroke his limbs and now he runs on Arch. He’ll still be jogging at the end of the movie.
There’s a pretty good movie to be made here.

Maybe he could show up in a critical moment to save the day?
