In Batteries Not Included the remaining tenants of a building a developer is trying
to clear just will not go. The remaining tenants are Elizabeth Pena, pregnant with
a traveling musician's baby, Dennis Boutsikaris an artist, Frank McRae an ex-boxer
and Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy who run a luncheonette on the first floor as
well.
After a rough time with Michael Carmine a local tough in charge of getting rid of the tenants all seems hopeless. But then a pair small flying saucers that look like kid's toys. They are some kind of artificial life form and they are most useful at repair and cannibalizing parts from all kinds of places to effect repair.
This is a truly charming fantasy and the long married team of Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy who had just scored big time in Cocoon fit perfectly in as the two leads and leaders of the remaining tenants.
There is a truly magical ending to this movie which I won't give the slightest hint but you'll stand up and cheer.
A winner from executive producer Steven Spielberg
