In 2002 some of the label's biggest acts took to the road for a worldwide tour dubbed Revenge of the Robots. All the glamor and energy of their exciting journey has been captured exclusively in this stimulating documentary. REVENGE OF THE ROBOTS probes some of the industry's most independent artists for their reflections on the state of hip hop music and American society at large. The film also has its lighter moments as Def Jux members exchange both jokes and pranks along the way.

Among the artists performing are EL-P, Mr. Lif and Aesop Rock. Music videos, behind the scenes footage, and a video game round out the array of outstanding features in this heady look at hip hop music. Cut to the pulse of a Def Jux record, the film speeds along at a satisfying clip, allowing us a glimpse into the lives and work of some staunchly independent artists.
