Movie Info

This children's sci-fi adventure chronicles the friendship between an 11-year-old and his grandfather's robot Tobor, who was designed to explore deep space. Tobor, unlike other machines, was endowed with human emotions. Trouble erupts when the communists kidnap him and try to make him do their evil bidding. Fortunately, Tobor is mind-linked to his creator and cannot be easily reprogrammed. The adventure begins when the boy and the scientists attempt to save the robot. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

This is one of those movies which makes robots seem less scary and more like friends. I usually don't like that, but I think this movie is fun anyway.

I was actually surprised by how much I liked this, childrens b-sci-fi Solid story, pretty clever and highly entertaining. The acting is less than spectacualr but thats to be expected given what this is. A little too corny at times, but all in all an easy movie to sit through and pretty good times.
