Short Circuit is a 1986 American science fiction comedy film directed by John Badham and written by S. S. Wilson and Brent Maddock. The film centers on an experimental military robot that is struck by lightning and gains a human-like intelligence, prompting it to escape its facility to learn more about the world.
No. 5 is a prototype battlefield weapon that can maneuver, seek out enemy targets and blast them with a laser ray. “Short Circuit” opens with a demonstration of the machine – which is struck by a bolt of lightning that fries its circuits and gives it the impression that it can think for itself.
Short Circuit is, at heart, a comedy about what happens when a robot designed to replace a special forces soldier is struck by lightning, and starts to believe he is a living entity.
Amiable and good-natured but also shallow and predictable, Short Circuit is hardly as deep or emotionally resonant as E.T.-- though Johnny Five makes for a charming robot protagonist.

A company or something called Nova are in pursuit of the missing robot but it's good family fun. Short Circuit has good acting and rather camp acting but Steve Guttenberg is always top notch. Short Circuit spawned a sequel called Short Circuit 2 but the original beats it.
Nov 14, 2020 · Based on 19 parent reviews. Sort by: Most Helpful. HMaffioli Adult. November 14, 2020. age 11+. Fischer's brown face performance problematic but a teachable moment about representation. I loved this fluffy movie when it was released in 86 and thought it would be a fun watch with my kid during lockdown.
