When a lightning strike grants self-awareness to Number 5, one of five experimental military robots, he awakens with a thirst for life and knowledge. Fearing disassembly, the curious robot escapes and finds refuge with a kind-hearted animal lover who helps him evade military capture. As Number 5 strives to prove he is truly alive, he must outwit the forces hunting him while winning over his skeptical creator. A charming blend of sci-fi adventure and family-friendly comedy, Short Circuit captures the playful spirit of 1980s cinema with heart and humor.
