Overview

Daryl is a normal 10-year-old boy in many ways. However, unbeknown to his foster parents and friends, Daryl is actually a government-created robot with superhuman reflexes and mental abilities. Even his name has a hidden meaning—it’s actually an acronym for Data Analyzing Robot Youth Life-form. When the organization that created him deems the “super soldier” experiment a failure and schedules Daryl to be disassembled, it is up to a few rogue scientists to help him escape.

Viewing Notes

From my library network I finally received the VHS of D.A.R.Y.L. (1985), another 80s film I hadn’t seen. Like the premise but it could use an update. Overall decent viewing.
