Bicentennial Man Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Chris Columbus
Genres: Comedy, Science Fiction
Rating:
If a robot spends enough time around humans, can he learn to become one of them? The Martin family purchases a domestic android as a servant and names him Andrew (Robin_Williams). Andrew comes to know the man of the house as Sir (Sam_Neill), his wife as Ma'am Wendy_Crewson, and their daughter as Portia (Embeth_Davidtz); before long, the Martins suspect that they do not have an ordinary robot on their hands. Andrew seems capable of expressing emotion and generating original thoughts, and the longer he stays with the Martins, the more strongly these human traits manifest themselves. Over the next 200 years, Andrew becomes less a machine and more a member of the family, until a mechanic (Oliver_Platt) tells Andrew that he might be able to turn him into a human being. Based on a short story by renowned science fiction author Isaac_Asimov (surprisingly, it's only the second Asimov story to be brought to the screen), Bicentennial Man was directed by Chris_Columbus, who previously worked with Robin_Williams on Mrs._Doubtfire.
