D.A.R.Y.L. is a 1985 American science fiction film which was written by David Ambrose, Allan Scott and Jeffrey Ellis. It was directed by Simon Wincer and stars Barret Oliver, Mary Beth Hurt, Michael McKean, Danny Corkill, and Josef Sommer. The original music score was composed by Marvin Hamlisch. The movie was filmed in Orlando and Dillsboro, NC. "Daryl" is an experiment in artificial intelligence, created by the government. Despite his name, he is actually not a robot , but rather a cyborg. His brain is a super-sophisticated microcomputer, but the rest of his body is human, which allows... him to absorb vast amounts of data via sensory input. Although Daryl is physically indistinguishable from an ordinary ten-year-old boy, his computer brain gives him a number of unique capabilities. These include exceptional reflexes, superhuman multitasking ability, and the ability to "hack" other computer systems. The D.A.R.Y.L. experiment was funded by the military, with the intention of producing a "super-soldier".
