A.I. Artificial Intelligence

Haley Joel Osment plays a highly advanced robotic boy who longs to become "real" in this Oscar-nominated sci-fi drama written and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Set in a futuristic post-climate change society, A.I. tells the story of David (Osment), a childlike android uniquely programmed with the ability to love. Before his adopted family are done testing him, David sets out on his own to pursue his dream of becoming human and to understand the secret to his existence.

Development of the film initially began with Stanley Kubrick in the early 1970s. The project languished as Kubrick wasn't confident that the CGI technology of the time could create the character of David, whom he believed no child actor would be up for playing. Kubrick then handed the project to Spielberg in 1995.
