Not Quite Human II

Dr. Jonas Carson develops an android that looks like a teenage boy and decides to treat him as a member of the family. Becky helps name him Chip, and the bond between creator and creation begins to form. The project marks the start of Chip's life among humans.

The Carsons relocate and Chip enrolls in the local high school alongside Becky. Dr. Carson also becomes a science teacher there, allowing him to monitor Chip closely. Chip's presence leads to a mix of curiosity and discomfort among teachers and students.

Chip's literal interpretations create awkward but humorous moments with staff and students, sometimes challenging authority and bucking the system. Some peers start seeing him as a novelty and ally rather than a threat. Erin, a fellow student, takes an interest in him.

Gordon Vogel, a former defense contractor, and his associate J.J. Derks begin tracking Carson after his secret project. They claim ownership of Chip and discuss reprogramming him for military use. Their pursuit puts Chip and the Carsons in growing danger.

Vogel and Derks kidnap Chip at a junkyard and prepare to reprogram him, arguing that Chip was created with Vogel's resources. The plan hinges on Chip's vulnerability to the reprogramming device. Carson and Becky become aware of the abduction and begin a rescue operation.

Carson reveals that he built Chip with a self-destruct mechanism to prevent unauthorized reprogramming. As Derks starts the process, Chip's safety system activates, threatening to destroy him. The stakes are raised as Chip's life hangs in the balance.

At Becky's insistence, Jonas reluctantly provides the password to the reprogramming device, overriding Chip's safeguard to prevent him from being destroyed. Chip's life is saved at the last moment, and the struggle shifts to defeating Vogel's plan. The family fights to keep Chip autonomous.

Derks and Vogel try to move Chip to the U.S. Patent Office in Washington, D.C. to secure a patent for his creation. They arrange to ship Chip in a wooden crate, but Chip outsmarts them by getting Vogel to climb into the crate himself. The plot reaches a turning point as Chip asserts control over his fate.

Chip slams the lid shut and traps Vogel inside, forcing Derks to retreat. This moment demonstrates Chip's growing autonomy and quick thinking under pressure.

Chip rescues Jonas and Becky from a car-crushing machine by pulling the power wires and shorting the system. The family is grateful but shaken as they watch Chip risk himself to save them.

Jonas and Becky bring Chip home to revive him, but for a time he seems dead. The family clings to hope as they work to bring him back.

Chip reawakens on the lab table and reunites with his family, asking, 'Am I a real human now?' Jonas answers affirmatively, declaring that Chip is 'as human as they get.' The exchange crystallizes Chip's place in the family and his acceptance.

With Chip restored, the Carsons embrace as the credits roll. The film closes on a note that humanity is defined by love and belonging, not biology.
