The Invisible Boy

“See Timmie and his friend Robby the Robot combat the Super Computer.”

Timmie Merrinoe (Richard Eyer) is ten years old and wants a friend, which is how he ends up chatting with Robby the Robot. His father, Dr. Tom Merrinoe (Philip Abbott), has built a supercomputer, and the machine has its own plans for the world, with the boy and the robot as its tools. Herman Hoffman made the film in black and white for MGM, Robby's second appearance after Forbidden Planet.
