About this product

Product Information

Struck by lightning, an endearing little robot known only as 'Number 5' escapes from an experimental electronics firm. Technician Newton Crosby (Steve Guttenberg) sets out to locate Number 5 before the military can go through with its plans to destroy the robot. Number 5 takes refuge with loopy Stephanie Speck (Ally Sheedy), who is convinced that the mechanical man is an extraterrestrial. Hoping to teach the 'alien' all about Earth, she fills Number 5's memory banks with reams of pop culture -- and then the real fun begins.

Additional InformationWhen a laser-armed Department of Defence robot named Number 5 gets zapped by a lightning bolt, he 'malfunctions' and starts spouting peace slogans and developing a human-like consciousness. Naturally, the newly pacifist machine wants out of the military and escapes. As a frantic search for the creature begins, Number 5 settles down in his new home, with a gentle young woman named Stephanie (Ally Sheedy), who has every intention of holding on to her find, teaching Number 5 about popular culture and other mysteries of life. Thoroughly convinced that the robot is alive, she develops a strong bond with the creature. In order to prevent his capture by the military--who view Number 5 as an armed-and-dangerous weapon--the pair must convince his inventor, a reclusive scientist named Newton Crosby (Steve Guttenberg), that he is truly alive and more than just a metal machine. The highly innovative robot created for director John Badham's film brings to mind other loveable science fiction icons such as E.T. and R2D2 from STAR WARS.

  • The best Sci fi movie, ever

    With an all star cast, a crackin story line, and Johnny 5, prepare yourself for a blast of 80s brilliance. Its a proper family movie, I've just shown it to my Grandson age 11, he was enthralled, no blood n guts, no swearing, just good old fashioned entertainment
