There are not one, but two intelligent machines. One is a supercomputer that&#8217;s been biding its time for decades, waiting for an opportunity that arrives one day in the form of a lonely little boy. He is invisible in the sense that the grown-ups pay no attention to him, condescend to him, or talk over his head&#8211;they just don&#8217;t understand! When he becomes literally invisible later, it&#8217;s just a way of literalizing what the movie has already been saying.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the computer hypnotizes the boy and gives him instructions about putting together a robot that&#8217;s lying disassembled in a workroom. It&#8217;s all part of the evil plan to use boy and robot in a plot to take over the world via satellite.<\/p>\n<p>The best moment comes when the insidious computer, invented by the boy&#8217;s father, flashes all his lights and promises that they can explore the universe together. &#8220;Dad&#8211;&#8221; the boy starts to complain. &#8220;Just be quiet, son,&#8221; says Dad, &#8220;and look at all the pretty lights.&#8221; Man spellbound by his own invention, even unto his own destruction, and taking his future generations with him . . . .<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This little picture has its moments of pulp poetry.
