short-circuit

Short Circuit is a 1986 comedy sci-fi film starring Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg and directed by John Badham. Fisher Stevens, Austin Pendleton, and G. W. Bailey co-star, with Tim Blaney providing the voice of robot "Number 5".The story revolves around an intelligent and sentient robot named "Number 5" that is worth $11,000,000 (actual total value - $11,002,076 and 17 cents - given in Short Circuit 2). The robot later takes the name "Johnny 5".A sequel, Short Circuit 2, was released in 1988.

A short circuit (sometimes abbreviated to short or s/c) allows a charge to flow along a different path from the one intended. The electrical opposite of a short circuit is an open circuit, which is infinite resistance between two nodes. It is common to misuse "short circuit" to describe any electrical malfunction, regardless of the actual problem.
