Overview

Daryl is a normal 10-year-old boy in many ways. However, unbeknown to his foster parents and friends, Daryl is actually a government-created robot with superhuman reflexes and mental abilities. Even his name has a hidden meaning -- it's actually an acronym for Data Analyzing Robot Youth Life-form. When the organization that created him deems the "super soldier" experiment a failure and schedules Daryl to be disassembled, it is up to a few rogue scientists to help him escape.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A warmhearted sci-fi adventure that grounds its high-concept premise in genuine childhood wonder and belonging. The film balances genuine stakes, an artificial boy hunted by his creators, with the simple joy of learning to be human.
