Is "Short Circit" a tad bit outdated? Yes, yes it is, but this oddball comedy is still a joy to watch. The movie focuses on Number 5, a robot who was built as a Cold War weapon that becomes sentient after being struck by lightning. After escaping from the facility where he was being held, Number 5 meets Stephanie Speck, a young woman who takes him into her home and teaches him about the world. Soon, the people who created the robot come looking for him, which leads to some madcap comedy as Number 5 and Stephanie attempt to evade them.
