Robot & Frank Cover Image DVD DVD

Robot & Frank [videorecording] / Samuel Goldwyn Films and Stage 6 Films present a Park Pictures film in association with White Hat Entertainment ; produced by Galt Niederhoffer ... [et. al.] ; screenplay by Christopher Ford ; directed by Jake Schreier.

Summary:

An aging thief with a fading memory finds his love for larceny reinvigorated after receiving a companion robot from his concerned son in this tender sci-fi comedy-drama starring Academy Award nominee Frank Langella. Frank (Langella) is a former criminal living out his twilight years in quiet solitude. Though frequent trips to the local library keep him physically active and mentally stimulated, there's little question that his memory isn't what it used to be, and lately his grown children have begun to express concern over the fact that he lives alone. Bestowed a caretaker robot capable of offering engaging interaction and tending to basic household chores, Frank at first resents his android helper. But in time he lets his guard down and begins to actually enjoy the companionship of his new domestic partner. Later, when the future of the local library is threatened, Frank falls back into his old ways and discovers that his robot also doubles as a competent criminal sidekick.
