A.I. Artificial Intelligence

Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on a project originated by Stanley Kubrick, A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) is a visionary science fiction tale about David (Haley Joel Osment), the first "mecha" child programmed to love. When his human family abandons him, David embarks on a quest to become a "real boy" so he can regain his mother's affection.

The film is set in a future world devastated by global warming, where coastal cities are submerged. It is celebrated for its philosophical depth and its blend of Kubrick's cold intellectualism with Spielberg’s emotional warmth.
