15 Best Ever Robot Sci-Fi Movies

11. Robot & Frank

Westworld Yul Brynner
Samuel Goldwyn Films

Robot & Frank is a unique and quirky comedy about the relationship between Frank, a retired jewel thief, and the carer robot given to him by his son. Frank initially pushes back against the idea of a carer, until he realises it can help him continue his former career.

Where other science fiction films might attempt to delve deeply into the meaning of humanity and intelligence, Robot & Frank is quite content to just sit back and tell a fun story in a humorous and engaging way.

Despite the perhaps unrealistic situation, the idea of exploring the ways humans might exploit technology in the future is a fascinating one and with its solid lead performances, excellent near-future aesthetics and "classic" robot design, Robot & Frank makes for great viewing.
