Circuit Breaker

Decades ago, a robot was declared alive.
Then the world moved on.

Hidden away in a forgotten storage unit, Johnny Five - once a symbol of wonder, kindness, and impossible hope - has been left to gather dust. His gold plating is tarnished, his systems outdated, but one thing has never shut down:

He is still alive.

When Johnny is accidentally reactivated in the modern world, he must face a future that no longer remembers him - a future where machines are smarter, colder, and never meant to feel. As corporations see property, Johnny still sees people.

As the world debates artificial intelligence, Johnny just wants to understand what it means to belong.
With his trademark curiosity, unintentional humour, and a heart that refuses to power down, Johnny Five must once again prove that being alive isn't about circuits or code - it's about choice.

Funny, heartfelt, and quietly hopeful, Circuit Breakers is a legacy continuation inspired by the original Short Circuit films - a story about memory, kindness, and what happens when the world forgets its miracles.
