The setup makes zero sense. A guy with a really important job that would make him rich in the first place is being coerced into becoming rich by the same billion dollar business for which he has one of the most important jobs, and that's making a space suit that can detect who's human and who's not, and in that role is Robert Urich, acting like he doesn't want a nice car or to where nice clothes when, again, with his job, he wouldn't have a choice. Meanwhile, the low budget shows. His best friend gets a huge, beautiful office while the head of the entire corporation's office looks right out of a closet.
Basically a remake of The Stepford Wives only entire families are turned into those "robots" which aren't robots but soulless rich people all belonging to a health club. Susan Lucci is 80's beautiful and as the siren of hell, she's a formidable presence while Urich makes for a good hero as wife Joanna Cassidy gets the wishbone treatment throughout. Wes Craven directed this before getting big with Nightmare on Elm Street, and it's very entertaining.
