Bicentennial Man is a 1999 Canadian-American science fiction coming of age comedy-drama film starring Robin

Williams, Sam Neill, Embeth Davidtz (in a dual role), Wendy Crewson, and Oliver Platt. Based on the novel The Positronic
Man by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg (which is itself based on Asimov's original novella of the same name), the plot
explores issues of humanity, slavery, prejudice, maturity, intellectual freedom, conformity, sex, love, and mortality. The film, a
co-production between Touchstone Pictures and Columbia Pictures, was directed by Chris Columbus. The title comes from the
main character existing to the age of two hundred years, and Asimov's novella was published in the year the United States had
its bicentennial.
