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.
“Like the best movies,” writes Peter Travers in Rolling Stone, “the ones that manage to effortless to work their way into your head and heart, ROBOT & FRANK has a deceptive simplicity.” Also starring Susan Sarandon and Liv Tyler.
