'SCI-FI KOM÷DIE'
Wissenschaftler Newton Crosby (Steve Guttenberg) hat ein neuartiges Robotermodell entwickelt - urspr¸nglich f¸r friedliche Zwecke. Doch der R¸stungskonzern N.O.V.A. funktioniert seine Erfindung um: in sechs perfekte Kampfmaschinen, ausgestattet mit einem gewaltigen Laser. Bei der feierlichen Pr‰sentation der sechs Killerroboter trifft ein Blitz "Nummer 5", der sich daraufhin recht merkw¸rdig benimmt. Der Roboter ergreift die Flucht und verl‰sst per M¸llwagen unbemerkt das Gel‰nde. Zuflucht findet "Nummer 5" bei Eisverk‰uferin Stephanie (Ally Sheedy), die ihn zun‰chst f¸r einen Auflerirdischen h‰lt. In ihrer Gegenwart entwickelt er menschliche Gef¸hle.
'TV MOVIE MEINT:'
Das originelle Hightech-M‰rchen, Kinohit des Jahres 1985 mit 40 Millionen Dollar Einspielergebnis allein in den USA, l‰sst die Herzen von Special-Effect-Fans hˆher schlagen: Der putzige Roboter, der eigentliche Star des Films, ist eine geniale Konstruktion. Regisseur John Badham gelingt es zudem, auf humorvolle Weise Kritik am R¸stungswahn und an Kriegs-Actionfilmen wie "Rambo" zu ¸ben.
