Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned he can no longer live alone. They are tempted to place him in a nursing home until Franks son chooses a different option: against the old mans wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and heartwarming story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places. Starring an ensemble cast led by Academy Award nominee Frank Lengella (2008, Best Actor, FROST/NIXON), Academy Award Winner Susan Sarandon (1995, Best Actress, DEAD MAN WALKING), Liv Tyler and James Marsden.
