Did You Know?
| Trivia | The four precepts mentioned at the start of the movie are a homage to Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. 1: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

| Goofs | Kessler enters the barn and climbs a ladder, but when Evan catches up to him, there's a car in the background as if they're at ground level. Kessler exits the barn without going back down the ladder and a wide shot shows the area around the barn is flat. See more » |
