''[[Bicentennial Man]]'', or ''Andrew--NDR114'' in Japan, is a 1999 film starring [[Robin Williams]], based on the well-known novella of the same name by [[Isaac Asimov]] (previously expanded into the full-length novel ''The Positronic Man'' by [[Robert Silverberg]]).
The film follows the evolution of the NDR series robot Andrew Martin ([[Robin Williams]]) from his introduction into the Martin family and interaction with them through three generations: discovery of his emotional and creative abilities, development into an artist and inventor, evolution into an android, his fight to win legal recognition for his humanity, and ultimate destiny.
