Scripter/Director Steven Spielberg's interpretation of the long in the works Stanley Kubrick project is a tale set in the future where robots are used as workers and for human companionship. A couple adopts David, the first "mecha" designed to love, as a replacement for their cryogenically frozen son. But when the boy recovers and returns home, David is abandoned, forcing him to undertake a perilous quest through hostile environments and a flooded New York City to become a "real boy." Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Frances O'Connor and William Hurt star.
