Summary: A boy calls upon his best friend, a lumbering robot, to save him and his inventor grandfather from communist agents. Tobor the Great (a.k.a. Tobor) is a 1954 independently made American black-and-white science fiction film, produced by Richard Goldstone, directed by Lee Sholem, and starring Charles Drake, Karin Booth, and Billy Chapin. The film was written by Carl Dudley and Philip MacDonald and was distributed by Republic Pictures.

Production Trivia: Contrary to popular belief, Tobor the robot was not designed by Robert Kinoshita, creator of Robby the Robot. According to both production sketches and "movie robot" authority Fred Barton, Tobor was designed by Gabriel Scognamillo and built by Mel Arnold, who also worked on Gort for "The Day the Earth Stood Still". The original Tobor prop and remote control device is still in existence, having been stored away safely in a private collection for more than 50 years.
