About This Movie

D.A.R.Y.L. is a 1985 family and science fiction film directed by Simon Wincer. Its leading cast includes Barret Oliver, Mary Beth Hurt and Michael McKean. It runs for 1 hour 40 minutes.

Synopsis

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.
