Robotic exoskeletons in movies and TV shows

Robotic exoskeletons have been the stuff of science fiction, but now are showing up in industrial and health-care rehabilitation settings.
They are giving extra strength and support for laborers and allowing paraplegics to walk again. Companies building such devices include ReWalk Robotics, Ekso Bionics and Hyundai.
What follows are depictions of powered exoskeletons from movies and TV shows. Many more examples can be found in video games such as “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare” and “Fallout 4.”
