The movie I am trying to recall was about a young boy who either believed or discovered that he was actually a robot made by the government; the boy’s human”brother” was also a main character. The plot involved the “robot” boy running away and trying to find where he was made. The boy acted as though his robotic nature made him adept at any task, which led to at least one segment where he drove a car, and I believe was pulled over during this sequence by the police.
- I must’ve seen this movie in the early 90s, so it may actually be from that era.
- Movie was definitely in English
- Could have been a made-for-TV movie, as I believe I saw it on TV (hard to recall clearly)
- Definitely in color
I think you might be thinking of D.A.R.Y.L.

D.A.R.Y.L. frequently shows up in my searches but unfortunately isn’t the right one (though its possible that I retroactively inserted elements of this into my memories of “Josh and S.A.M.”, like the fact that he was a robot… what was with all the 80’s movies about children who are actually some sort of experiment?)
I think it’s Josh and S.A.M.
It totally is Josh and S.A.M.! Thank you so much for helping me find this; I’ve been trying to figure it out for at least 20 years…
I’m glad I could help. 🙂
Thanks jennagain!
