An intelligent robot named Roz finds herself abandoned on an island following a shipwreck. Roz forms relationships with the island’s wildlife and tends to an orphaned young goose to survive the hostile environment.

Synopsis:

The movie begins in a factory where employees build the robot Rozzum unit 7134. But when Roz awakens for the first time, she discovers she is alone on a remote wild island. Roz only knows that she wants to survive; she has no idea how or where she came from.

One day, when Roz is having fun with the deer and raccoons, she senses something moving in the undergrowth. It is discovered that wolves, vultures, and cougars are making the noise as it gets closer. After a skirmish, a wolf injures one of the deer. Roz battles the wolves, cougars, and vultures, trying to get stung on the chest, but she survives. When Roz intervenes and drives the wolves, cougars, and vultures away, the other animals—bears, raccoons, deer, geese, porcupines, and foxes—celebrate her success.

To finally defeat the evil robots, Roz calls upon her wild creatures. The bad robots retreated as a result of all the animals charging at them. Roz is attacked by nine hungry crocodiles while she is walking in a swamp, but a bear is keeping an eye on her.

Roz calls on all of the forest’s creatures to band together to battle the evil robots. In the novel adaptation, Roz sustains severe injuries and is removed from the island, returning her to the factory that created her. Instead of Roz, the enemy robots in the movie version of the climactic battle have shattered bodies that the animals are unable to fix. After Roz, her kid, and the other animals defeat the evil robots, the robots take off on an aircraft to return to their factory of origin.

In the battle, Roz prevails. To ensure her pals’ safety, Roz chooses to remain in the forest with the other animals. She hugs the animals with amazing love.
