What can you really say about this film? It's an eighties robot comedy...with a heart.
Plot: The US Government have created a whole gang of robots for advanced warfare. There's like seven of em or something. There's a demonstration for the top brass, a lightning strike and one of em, number 5, comes alive. He runs away, meets a chick, they dance to Travolta music and live happily ever after...then there's a sequel.
Stars Ally Sheedy (Breakfast Club) and Steve Guttenburg (Police Academy series, Coccoon)
Gross: $40,697,761
Fun Fact: The robot, Johnny 5, was designed by (Syd Mead) the fella that worked on Blade Runner and Tron. There was even a song to accompany it, Who's Johnny, by El DeBarge...I'll be honest, I haven't heard it...but I'd love to!
