Directed by Steve De Jarnatt.
Released in 1988.
This film takes place in a post-apocalyptic 2017, in which many men prefer to have relationships with androids rather than human women. The very best of these androids is called the Cherry 2000. When Sam Treadwell’s (played by David Andrews) Cherry short-circuits after a passionate romp on the wet kitchen floor, he needs to find a new chasse to put Cherry’s personality chip into. In order to find a new body, Treadwell must find a tracker, E. Johnson (played by Melanie Griffith.) Johnson and Treadwell must fight their way through the “lawless zone” to the robot graveyard, past government barricades and crazed desert gangs. When Treadwell must decide between taking the new Cherry or E., he chooses E. calling Cherry “only a robot.”
This film does not subscribe to the belief that programmed love is equal or could evolve into the human emotion. Even the Treadwell character, who has never had feelings for a human woman, rejects Cherry when she says she loves him and chooses the unpredictable and very human E. Johnson.
