No. 5 is alive! Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy co-star in this high-tech comedy-adventure about a robot named No. 5 who, after short-circuiting during an electrical storm, escapes into the real world ... and decides he's human! The Defense Department and his designer (Guttenberg) are desperate to get him back -- but they'll have to get past his new guardian (Sheedy).

Something wonderful has happened... Number Five is alive!
