This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Batteries Not Included (stylized as *batteries not included) is a 1987 American science fiction comedy-drama film directed by Matthew Robbins, produced by Ronald L. Schwary, and starring real-life partners Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy as a married couple. The film tells the story about small extraterrestrial living spaceships that save an apartment block under threat from property development.
The story was originally intended to be featured in the television series Amazing Stories, but executive producer Steven Spielberg liked the idea so much that he decided to adapt it into a film. It was the feature film screenwriting debut of Brad Bird.
The film was theatrically released on December 18, 1987 by Universal Pictures, and despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, it was a box office success, earning a total of $65.1 million against a budget of $25 million.
