Coming
to DVD, Digital and On Demand from director Stephen Shimek, Grindstone and
Lionsgate Home Entertainment comes a story of friendship with THE ADVENTURES OF
A.R.I. MY ROBOT FRIEND.
Noah
(Jude Manley) is a teen spending his time in school and with good friend
Bethany (Sophia Alongi). Dad Peter (J.R. Brown) is pretty busy with his tech
job but tries to very hard to have time with Noah. A movie night is interrupted
with Peter has to go to the lab for an emergency and asks Noah to join him.
Once
at the lab while Dad is busy, Noah notices workers taking an odd table through
the lab. Curiosity gets the best of him and he discovers a small robot that
seems to be discarded. While testing is being doing throughout the lab, Noah
decides to take the small robot in his backpack. Well, this is when life gets
interesting.
The
robot comes to life and is equally curious about Noah. What they both don’t
know is that back in the lab, people are looking for their robot and want it
back! Dr. Simon (Cait Brasel) along with Director Raddock (Greg Lutz) will stop
at nothing to find A.R.I. and bring him back.
While
A.R.I. learns from Noah, their friendship grows and as much as the scientists
want their robot back, Noah and Bethany discover that there is more to this
than a missing robot. Finding Professor Eggy (Bill Jenkins) is the key to
saving their A.I. little friend from disaster!
Manley
as Noah is a young man who is growing up in the technology world. He
understandings A.R.I. and is constantly amazed at what he can do, no more so
than A.R.I. himself. Alongi as Bethany is the total teen having a social media
following and uses that to help their new friend keep the bad guys away.
Lutz
as Raddock is singularly focused on finding A.R.I. but if not – there is always
plan B. Brasel as Dr. Simon tried to make A.R.I. work but doesn’t understand
why everyone wants him so badly but does do her techno part to find him. Brown
as Dad Peter gets a chance to help his son do something amazing. Jenkins as the
Professor has his own story to tell about A.R.I. and is thrilled to tell it to
Noah and Bethany.
Other
cast includes: Kyle Henry as Titan, Jeremy Miller as Todd, Christy Tate as Rita
Haley, and Craig Cole as Mr. Stanny.

THE
ADVENTURE OF A.R.I. MY ROBOT FRIEND is a fun family film that also talks about
technology and what it is capable of. It also shows the good and bad people who
are involved with A.R.I. and what each of their goals really are. That’s
important for families to discuss in the sense that technology can be amazing
for teaching and entertaining, but kids need to understand the perils that can
sometimes happen when not used properly.
That’s
where A.R.I. comes in with his friendship with Noah and Bethany. He learns
about friendship and what it means to care for someone to the point of doing
everything possible to protect them. In turn Noah and Bethany begin to see
A.R.I. as so much more than metal and motherboards and it is delightful to see.
So
gather the family together and make it a movie night to watch friendship and
technology become the best of friends with THE ADVENTURE OF A.R.I. MY ROBOT
FRIEND.
In
the end – the extraordinary story can begin!
