Academy Award nominee Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon) stars in this near-future comedy about a retired cat burglar who reluctantly receives a nursing robot from his son, programmed to improve his physical and mental health. "Curmudgeonly old Frank lives by himself. His routine involves daily visits to his local library, where he has a twinkle in his eye for the librarian (Susan Sarandon). His grown children (Liv Tyler and James Marsden) are concerned about their father’s well-being and buy him a caretaker robot. Initially resistant to the idea, Frank soon appreciates the benefits of robotic support - like nutritious meals and a clean house - and eventually begins to treat his robot like a true companion. With his robot’s assistance, Frank’s passion for his old, unlawful profession is reignited, for better or worse... a story about family and the implications of humankind’s ever-changing relationship with technology."
