An educational toy robot inexplicably becomes self-aware and begins exploring its surroundings. After accessing a computer, it attempts to discover the purpose for its existence. Eventually, the robot stumbles across a video of ROB the Robot (a “virtual” second player option for the NES console), and assumes it is designed to play video games. Once he engages in Gears of War 3 for the Xbox 360, the violence it witnesses during the gameplay leads him to further assume he is made to kill. An unnamed character stumbles upon the robot and is summarily slaughtered. This generates doubt in the robot’s mind, and he returns to the computer for further insight. The film ends after the robot views a video of a cat attacking a robot.
