Movie Story
This movie is about two brothers, Joshua (Joshua John Miller) and Max (Edan Gross). They are very clever and want to help their mom, Sarah (Marcia Strassman). They decide to build a super cool robot! This robot is meant to have advanced artificial intelligence, which means it can think and learn. They hope it will help with chores around the house.
One Halloween, the boys try a playful séance. This is like a pretend way to talk to spirits. What happens next is a big surprise! The ghost of their dad, Matthew (Alan Thicke), who has passed away, actually takes over their robot.
Joshua and Max are super excited to have their dad back, even if he's in a robot body. But soon, they realize something important. Some people who wanted their dad's original ideas are now after their special robot, Newman. The boys must protect their robot dad!
In the end, Matthew, as the robot, helps his sons. He guides them to make the right choices. After everything is settled, Matthew's spirit returns to the afterlife. The boys then sell their amazing robot plans to a rich investor.
