The movie Short Circuit premiered on May 9 1986. The movie was about a military robot in the S.A.I.N.T. series (Strategic Artificially Intelligent Nuclear Transport) that was struck by lightening and became sentient. He escaped from the military, changed his name from Number Five to Johnny Five, and became friends with Stephanie (Ally Sheedy). Fisher Stevens played Ben Jabituya, a character of Indian ancestry. He has since said he wouldn't have played the role if offered now and would encourage it to be played by someone of actual Indian heritage. Instead of stop motion or CGI, the film relied on puppetry and practical effects. The theme song "Who's Johnny" was the debut single of El DeBarge. It was his only number one single after leaving DeBarge. ("Short Circuit" Film Event)
