<i>Artificial Intelligence</i> is the story of David (<b>Haley Joel Osment</b>), the first mecha (a futuristic term for a mechanised human being) designed with the ability to love. A couple whose son is in a coma "adopts" David to help them recover from their loss. Naturally, things do not go as planned, and David is forced to leave the mother (<b>Frances O'Connor</b>) he's been "imprinted" to love, and make his way in the world. Travelling with Teddy, a hi-tech stuffed bear, David escapes the Flesh Fair, where angry humans destroy mechas to "purge artificiality," and unexpectedly befriends Gigolo Joe (<b>Jude Law</b>), a robot designed to pleasure women. Joe agrees to help David in his quest to become human.
