I didn't realize at the time that those robot laws in the movie were really from Asimov... Maybe I should read some of his work sometime, would probably enjoy it.

Yes, the movie with Will Smith is based on the book by Asimov.
From
Wikipedia
I, Robot is a collection of nine science fiction short stories by Isaac Asimov, first published by Gnome Press in 1950 in an edition of 5,000 copies. The stories originally appeared in the American magazines Super Science Stories and Astounding Science Fiction between 1940 and 1950. The stories are woven together as Dr. Susan Calvin tells them to a reporter (the narrator) in the 21st century. Though the stories can be read separately, they share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots and morality, and when combined they tell a larger story of Asimov's fictional history of robotics.
The book also contains the short story in which Asimov's famous Three Laws of Robotics first appear.
