Synopsis

*batteries not included (1987) is Matthew Robbins's family sci-fi fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. An old New York apartment block is marked for demolition: a developer wants the whole street cleared for a tower and is not above thugs and threats. A handful of tenants simply have nowhere else to go.

Among them are the elderly Rileys, who run a little diner downstairs, a former boxer, a pregnant artist and a quiet painter next door. Help arrives from the last place anyone would look. One night two tiny flying machines drift in through a window, repair everything they touch, and decide to stay. Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy anchor this gentle tale from Steven Spielberg's Amblin studio. Stream *batteries not included (1987) online on iFILM.
