Plot: Set in a grim post-WW III America, this sci-fi fantasy tells the story of a woman attempting to sell black-market computer chips that allow patrons to experience the nearly forgotten pleasures of sex and drugs. She is hanging out with the gang she works for in a local nightclub when the police raid the joint. She manages to escape and decides to double cross her gang and sell the chips for herself. But first she must escape both the police and the gangsters and make it to the New York underground. She is helped out when she runs into Plughead, an android covered with electrical outlets. He uses these to tap in to the fantasies of other people. The soundtrack by Deborah Holland provides a highlight. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

The Originial, except no substitute!
Added 11/23/2009

Fast-paced, fun, orginal, sexy, profane,
futuristic and with an enviromental mes-
sage to boot. Algore's type of movie. May-
be this is where he got that stupid 'Glo-
bal-warming' crap from? No, and he didn't
invent the I-net either. Lu Leonard, Ver-
non Wells almost steal the show but Jim
Metzler, Dennis Christopher and Andy Gol-
dberg are very funny as well! Dana Wheel-
er-Nicholson's best to date. And I would
like to date her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So horrible you spend the entire movie laughing
Added 6/18/2002

Any movie with mutant leaches in it is classic. Why does the gigalo bot need to breath? The girl seems to carry more than two knives, wouldn't that be uncomfortable? Curious, then buy this movie and have a good time laughing your but off! Come on, the villan is named plughead. Classic

Quirky and cool
Added 9/4/2000

Quirky, noteable little Sci-Fi fable about a post apocalyptic future (again), wherein robots and technology have become the new currency (a la William Gibson's Neuromancer via "Johnny Mnemonic") of the tattered remnants of civilization. "Circuitry" ups the ante by making the satisfying story focus on a "Romeo" model of android, that is programmed (i.e. tricked) into doing whatever it takes to find the great love of his life, who doesn't really exist. Smart, cool, and unique, especially on such a restrictive budget.

Fun, sexy, thoughtful post-apocalyptic adventure!
Added 9/9/1999

The story bears strong resemblence to CHERRY 2000 in which a man was in love with an android. In CIRCUITRY MAN, it's the android in love with a computer program. Both males hook up with a sexy female mercenary to find their loves, across a post-apocalyptic desert, confronting questions of what it means to be human.

CIRCUITRY MAN also features the beautiful Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, and a sexy actress in the delightful role of Yoyo, a bad-girl assassin.

This is a good adventure with a curious Cyberpunk feel.
Added 6/14/1999

To my recollection, this is one of the first films to play in the Cyberpunk genre. With shades of Neuromancer mixed with Road Warrior the film does what good films are meant to do, they entertain and open your eyes just a little wider. It's a road picture that takes place in the future after an ecological disaster. Humans live underground, but the underground thrives topside. Our hero, a female bodyguard, is assisted by a lovesick Bio-droid to sell off some electronic drugs in a last attempt to escape the hellish world she lives in. Unfortunatly, Plughead has other plans for the Drugs and he relentlessly chases the duo cross country. Some whacky characters help flesh out a very amusing story, including Leech, excellently played by Dennis Christopher (Breaking Away). The film is a good ride through an imaginative future.
