David, a young robotic boy, is the first android ever programmed to feel human emotions. As an experiment, he is used as a temporary substitute for a couple who have had their own son cryogenkally frozen until a cure is found for his terminal illness.
The film portrays the journey made by David and the 'sexually compromising' robot Gigolo Joe, to find their place within the society that created them.
Together with ground-breaking special effects and shocking images of half-human, half-mechanical creatures, this film will blow your mind!

A superior cinematic cinematic achievement!
This truly beautiful film is simply <i>Pinocchio</i> as it might have been written for today…or even further into the future. It deals with what might happen if mankind were to develop a robot that was capable of human emotional feelings.
David (Hailey Joel Osment) is created as such a robot, and who wants – more than anything else – to become a “real” boy. When abandoned by his human “mother” and being familiar with the Pinocchio story, David sets out to find the “Blue Fairy” (Meryl Streep,) accompanied by his robot teddy – the “Jiminy Cricket” character. Their adventures experienced en route form the bulk of the story.
Narrated by Ben Kingsley: the cast includes Jude Law, Chris Rock, and a cameo appearance by Robin Williams, as “Dr Know” – a holographic answer-engine.
Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg collaborated in the making of the production, though the credit titles hardly mention Kubrick, other than to say that the film is dedicated to him.
