Movie Description
Solo is the perfect soldier, a humanoid android designed not only to follow his programming, but also to learn. The problem is, he ends up learning the value of human life, and on a mission in Latin America he refuses to carry out an order that would mean the death of many innocent civilians. Not wanting to be reprogrammed, he escapes into the jungle and joins a group of repressed villagers. Based on "Weapon," a novel by Robert Mason.
Synopsis
Solo is the perfect military soldier because he's actually a super-strong android with logic-forming capabilities. But Solo doesn't like to kill innocent bystanders. When Solo realizes he's about to be retooled to have this trait erased, he breaks loose and goes on the lam. But the robot makes even more enemies while in a Mexican town -- and they will do ANYTHING to see that he's destroyed....
