Some kids play football. Others build bone-crushing combat robots with the express purpose of dismembering competing bots in thrilling caged-death matches. This film is about kids in the latter group. Bots High follows three teams of high school robotics geeks who build and battle their way to a national robotics competition in Miami. Our heroes include genius inventor Will, who constructs seemingly indestructible bots that unfortunately self-destruct (sometimes in a cloud of smoke and flames), and My Mechanical Romance, a team of Catholic school girls who stand out amid male bot participants with beauty, brains, and fashion sense. Funny, smart and inspiring, the kids navigate high school, adolescence and first love while reducing enemy bots to shards of scrap metal. Here, at last, is a family film even teenagers can enjoy.
