As a frantic search for the creature begins Number 5 settles down in his new home with a gentle young woman named Stephanie Ally Sheedy who has every intention of holding on to her find teaching Number 5 about popular culture and other mysteries of life. Thoroughly convinced that the robot is alive she develops a strong bond with the creature. In order to prevent his capture by the military--who view Number 5 as an armed-and-dangerous weapon--the pair must convince his inventor a reclusive scientist named Newton Crosby Steve Guttenberg that he is truly alive and more than just a metal machine. The highly innovative robot created for director John Badham's film brings to mind other lovable science fiction icons such as E.T. and R2D2 from STAR WARS.
