Artificial Intelligence: A.I. is a 2001 science fiction film co-produced, written, and directed by Steven Spielberg. It was the last project on which filmmaker Stanley Kubrick worked — he died before the film started shooting, and Spielberg dedicated the film to him.
The film won five Saturn Awards, including Best Science Fiction Film. It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Effects, Visual Effects and Best Music, Original Score.
The story is set sometime in the future. Global warming has led to an ecological disaster resulting in a drastic reduction of the human population and rising sea levels. Cities like New York City, and Venice lie in ruins. Mankind’s efforts to maintain civilization lead to the creation of android artificial intelligence. These efforts culminate with the creation of David, an android child (or “mecha”) programmed with the ability to love. Cybertronics, the company that created David, wish to test their latest creation on a loving couple wanting a child. They approach one of their employees, Henry Swinton, with the idea.
Android Gigolo Joe (Jude Law)
Henry and Monica Swinton are a married couple whose son, Martin, is dying of a rare illness. Hoping for a cure, the Swintons have their son placed in a state of suspended animation until such a cure can be found. The emotional toll of such a long, chronic illness nearly shatters the marriage. Henry agrees to bring David home to Monica. Although Monica is initially frightened of the android, she eventually warms to him after activating his imprinting protocol, which irreversibly causes David to feel love for her as a child loves a parent.

As he continues to live with the Swintons, David is befriended by Teddy, a mecha toy, that takes upon itself the responsibility of David’s well being. Martin is eventually cured of his illness and is brought home. The two are expected to live together like brothers. A sibling rivalry builds between the two, however. Martin’s jealousy prompts him to manipulate David into more and more irrational behavior but Martin’s scheming backfires when he and his friends activate David’s self-protection programming at a pool party. Thinking himself in danger, David grabs hold of Martin, begging him to "keep me safe." David falls into the pool, taking Martin with him, and sinks to the bottom. Martin is saved from drowning but David’s actions prove too much for Henry; he wants David returned to the manufacturer.
Fearing that David will be destroyed, Monica instead releases both David and Teddy into the forest to live as unregistered mechas, warning David to avoid the “flesh fairs,” events where mechas are destroyed before cheering crowds by anti-mecha groups. David is soon captured and nearly destroyed at such a flesh fair and narrowly escapes with the help of Gigolo Joe, a prostitute mecha, who is on the run after being framed for the murder of one of his clients. The two become friends and set out to find the Blue Fairy, who David remembers from the fairy tale "Pinocchio" as a being who has the power to turn him into a real boy. If he becomes a real boy, he imagines, Monica will love him and take him back. Joe and David make their way to the decadent metropolis known as Rouge City, a somewhat futuristic Las Vegas, in search of the knowledge that will lead them to the Blue Fairy.
New York City now in ruins and submerged after the effects of Global Warming.
An oracular computer personality called Dr. Know eventually leads David, with Joe in tow on the run from the authorities, to his manufacturers' laboratory at the top of a building at the Rockefeller Center in the flooded ruins of Manhattan. He is greeted by his human creator, Professor Hobby, who is unsurprised to see him there. His creator excitedly tells David that his arrival at the planned destination demonstrates the true, 'realistic' nature of David's (artificially-created) emotions, because he was driven by his love for his mother and desperation to be with her. To Hobby, this proves that David is a success as a robot model and the line of David replicates will be fit for the general market. Disheartened, David leaves and falls from the office into the ocean, possibly trying to commit suicide.
New York City 2,000 years later.
David falls to the streets of submerged Manhattan and sees, what he thinks is the Blue Fairy, but is suddenly rescued by Gigolo Joe. At the surface, Gigolo Joe is taken by the authorities, leaving David and Teddy to find the Blue Fairy in the ruins of Coney Island. While there in the submersible, David finally encounters the Blue Fairy, a statue from one of the rides at the park. Naïvely believing it to be the real Blue Fairy, he makes his wish to be turned into a real boy. He waits for the wish to come true, repeating it into infinity, with Teddy by his side and is ultimately trapped underwater when the park's ferris wheel falls on his vehicle.
