Based on a story by the gigantic Robert A. Heinlein and directed by Michael Tolkin, featuring a cast that includes Malcolm McDowell, Anne Heche, and Jason Diablo in the role of the android 'Jerry', this is undoubtedly the best among the episodes of the unfortunate 'Masters of Science Fiction' experience. The story revolves around the android Jerry. Born and constructed for military purposes as an 'anti-mine' puppet, he is saved from destruction by the wealthy and dissatisfied Martha Von Vogel in what will be an absurd process aimed at proving his humanity and independence as a sentient being. A sort of farce, bordering on the grotesque, at the end of which Jerry will indeed reveal himself to possess an humanity—in other words, the worst qualities of the human race.
