Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, James Marsden, Liv Tyler, Jeremy Sisto, and Jeremy Strong star in the comedy film Robot & Frank coming to theaters on August 24, 2012. A hit at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Alfred P Sloan Feature Film Prize, Robot & Frank was directed by Jake Schreier from a script by Christopher Ford.
The Plot:
Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned he can no longer live alone. They are tempted to place him in a nursing home until Frank’s son chooses a different option: against the old man’s wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and somewhat heartbreaking story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places.
