Family comedy following a robot who goes AWOL. A reclusive inventor, Newton Crosby (Steve Guttenberg), is responsible for the development of a range of robots that have the capacity to destroy entire cities. At a military demonstration, one of the robots is struck by lighting and is given a life of its own. The authorities decide that this is dangerous and want the robot terminated. Number Five (voice of Tim Blaney) duly goes into hiding with a fanatical animal lover, Stephanie Speck (Ally Sheedy), who believes he is an alien. Will she be able to protect him?
Struck by lightning, an endearing little robot known only as 'Number 5' escapes from an experimental electronics firm. Technician Newton Crosby (Steve Guttenberg) sets out to locate Number 5 before the military can go through with its plans to destroy the robot. Number 5 takes refuge with loopy Stephanie Speck (Ally Sheedy), who is convinced that the mechanical man is an extraterrestrial. Hoping to teach the 'alien' all about Earth, she fills Number 5's memory banks with reams of pop culture -- and then the real fun begins.
