Based on a 1970s animated series, the movie depicts an Orwellian dystopia where mankind is threatened with destruction by robots and mutants of its own creation, and humanity's only hope is the idealistic android Casshern.

When she was 12 years old, she became so captivated by the show's cyborg premise that she started reading books that reaffirmed the concept of integrating machines with humans. A thousand reruns and an electrical-engineering Ph.D. later, she's creating robots that think like humans for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "The Bionic Woman showed real, brilliant people giving life through bionics," says Howard, now 32. "I figured I could...
