Android

Norbert plays a villain in this film, but a very charming one... Android is a a lot of fun to watch! Don Opper did a fantastic job in both writing the screenplay and in portraying his character of Max 404. Android is available on DVD from Amazon and other retailers.

Did You Know? Don Keith Opper was also one of the writers for City Limits, another film that features Norbert Weisser. A young Morgan Weisser makes a very brief appearance in City Limits. This is Brie Howard’s first credited role, and one of only five films she has done.

Android is terrific 1982 Science Fiction movie that was written by Don Opper and James Reigle, and directed by Aaron Lipstadt. While this movie may not have had a large budget like the typical Sci-Fi blockbusters, it is nevertheless still a great movie that is well written with a nice balance of humor, romance and mild villainy. Norbert plays Keller in the role of one of three escaped convicts aboard a stolen spaceship. They claim mayday and are given permission to board a remote space lab, where they believe they will be safe from the space police. On the lab they meet Max 404, an utterly charming android that was built by Dr. Daniel, the only other inhabitant of the lab. As it turns out, Max is lonely and anxious to have the company of a woman. He welcomes the three onboard and befriends them, mainly because of the woman. He hopes that, among other things, she will be the one to take him to earth, his great desire that Dr. Daniel has denied. I do not want to give away the ending to this film -- you must see it for yourself as it's wonderful. The movie stars Don Opper, Norbert Weisser, Klaus Kinski, Brie Howard and Crofton Hardester.
