A robot boy and a human boy team up to save their respective parents, who are being held captive by Kinetech Labs - the organization that funded the robot's creator. The two embark on adventures to outwit the evil Kinetech. Henry may not be the most popular kid in school, but he is certainly the smartest and that has its advantages when he comes across a broken robot which he names Cody. After fixing the robot, Henry discovers that Cody isn't your average automaton – he's a highly intelligent search and rescue robot who has been set free by his inventor from the clutches of the evil Kinetech Labs who plan to use him for military purposes. Cody and Henry's friendship looks as though it may be brought to an abrupt end when Kinetech track down Cody and take him back to the lab, however Cody's inventor feels guilty and reunites the two friends. When Kinetech kidnap Henry's mother and the inventor in retaliation, it's up to one boy and his robot to outwit their captors and save the day. From the producer of Spider Man, X-Men and Iron Man, Robosapien blends fast-paced action and mischievous humour to create a rollercoaster ride of an adventure that all the family will love!

At first glance, a family movie, and at second glance, too. It's the kind of classic movie where you can immediately tell who the villain is, who is good, and how it will end. Why not, if only this piece didn't try to look so terribly good. Modern for the young, so of course a robot has to dance hip hop. The film is terribly sentimental, which is its problem. And the problem with most American movies. It just has to push too hard, as if there was no other way.
