Robots On Film logo

Barbarella/Barbarella Queen of the Galaxy (1967)

Barbarella is asked by the President of Earth to find the missing scientist Duran Duran. The film features (in addition to a very scantily clad Jane Fonda) robot 'devil dolls' that attack Barbarella and her companions.

Batteries Included/Robovixens (1988)

An adult film featuring 'Robovixens': robots which look - and feel - like real women, but which have inexhaustible stamina. Can you guess what they're used for ?

*batteries not included (1987)

Tenants in a run-down apartment block are being forced to move out by an unscrupulous property developer. Then a group of mechanical lifeforms (which look like flying saucers) move into the block, and use their capabilities to help the tenants defeat the developer and his cohorts.

Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)

Shad, an Akirian youth, tries to enlist seven mercenaries to help him protect his home planet from Sador the galactic bandit. During his journeys, he visits a space station where he is captured by Dr Hephaestus, the station's owner, but - in her android workshop - he meets Nanelia (Hephaestus' daughter), an android repairer, who helps him to escape. (Basically, The Magnificent Seven in space.)

Battlestar Galactica (1978)

Following an attack by the Cylons, the only remaining battlestar Galactica leads a 'rag-tag' wagon train of 200 starships containing the last remaining humans on a (seemingly never ending) search for the mythical planet Earth. (Click on the PROOF link above for a list of the robots in this film.)

The Bicentennial Man (1999)

The films documents the two century 'life' of Andrew, a humanoid robot initially designed as a menial household robot, who develops emotions and creative thoughts.

Bill & Ted's Bogus Adventure (1991)

Bill and Ted are killed by evil robot doubles sent from the future. In order to save civilization as we know it (and, of course, the babes), Bill and Ted have to escape from hell, outwit the grim reaper and defeat the evil robots.

The Black Hole (1979)

The crew of the Palamino come across the Cygnus (presumed lost some years before), on the edge (?) of a black hole. On boarding, they discover that the Cygnus's crew are dead and that the ship is manned only by robots, created by the mad Dr. Reinhardt. (The film features various robots: click on the PROOF link above.)

Blade Runner (1981)

Rick Deckard - a blade runner - hunts down a group of artificially created android 'replicants', who have returned to Earth. The replicants, who are programmed to automatically 'die' after a certain lifespan, are searching for their creator, in order to prevent their own deaths.

Bodo - Eine ganz normale Familie (1989)

Bodo, a boy who has a samurai sword-wielding father and a robot orang utan, clones a double of himself, and soon gets into trouble with his mother, amongst others.

The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters (1954)

The Boys approach the Gravesend family, who own a house that would be ideal for a playground for local kids. But the Gravesends are no ordinary family... they have a gorilla for a pet (and want to transplant a brain into it), one of them is a vampire, and one has invented a robot called Gorak.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979)

During a space flight, Buck Rogers is accidentally put into suspended animation, and is awakened in the 25th century. There, accompanied by the annoyingly twee robot sidekick Twiki, Buck faces the alien Princess Ardala.
