Plot
"A cockles-of-your-heart-warming comedy… not since R2D2 has a mechanical matinee idol been so positively huggable." -Washington Post

Steve Guttenberg and Alley Sheedy co-star in this high-tech comedy adventure about Number Five, a robot who escapes into the real world after he short-circuits in an electrical storm and decides that he's human. Because he's carrying destructive weapons, the Defense Department and his designer (Guttenberg) are desperate to find him. But Number Five is being protected by a young woman (Sheedy) who is teaching him a gentler way of life.
