Heinlein Directed by Academy Award Nominee Michael Tolkin (The New Age, The Rapture) Starring Emmy Award Winner Anne Heche (John Q, Psycho), Malcolm McDowell (Cat People, A Clockwork Orange)
Mr. and Mrs. Bronson Van Vogel are the seventh-richest couple in the world. Pleasure is their only work; mundane or dangerous chores are done by anthropoids. All the anthropoids—a few strands of human DNA, grown into a baby and fused with plastics—are named “Joe.” Somehow, Mrs. Van Vogel’s dormant compassion is awakened by a Joe named Jerry. What traits would prove that Jerry is, indeed, a man?
