The film first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2012 and is the winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize.Frank Weld is a retired thief and con man living a quiet life in small town in the near future, slowly succumbing to a combination of boredom, loneliness, and the onset of Alzheimer's. To address the situation, his son Hunter bestows upon him a robot living assistant to help take care of him. Despite his initial antagonism towards Robot, Frank eventually warms up to it as he realizes it can be easily manipulated to his will. Meanwhile, the town library is being reformatted, the old paper books are being replaced, and the old librarian fired in favor of a "Augmented Reality library experience". Frank decides to teach his new friend all the old tricks he knew about crime and together they perform a series of capers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Beneath Suspicion | |
| Robot and Frank / int_23c132d9 | comment |
Beneath Suspicion: Frank at first, as the sheriff thinks he's much too old to pull off such a complicated job by himself. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Frank thinks so anyway, and initially believes that Robot will kill him in his sleep. | |

Artistic License – Law | |
| Robot and Frank / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: At no point in his investigation of Frank does the sheriff display a warrant. Jake claims they have probable cause, but that is somewhat doubtful. Also, it seems unlikely that the police would allow a victim of a crime to accompany and assist with the investigation of a suspect. It's implied Frank and Jake know this, and Jake is pressuring Frank. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Robot and Frank / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Jake. He is patronising to Frank, is turning the library into a multi-media Augmented Reality experience, and makes a living as "a consultant, whatever that is." | |
