Synopsis
Spare Parts (2015) — watch online on iFILM: a drama directed by Sean McNamara, starring George Lopez, Jamie Lee Curtis, Carlos PenaVega and Marisa Tomei.
Four undocumented Mexican-American teenagers from Phoenix, Arizona enter a national underwater robotics competition on an $800 budget. Their parts come from scavenged car components. Their opponents are reigning champion MIT. Their teacher, played by George Lopez, has no prior robotics experience. Nobody outside the school expects them to finish.
The film is based on a true story from 2004, when Carl Hayden Community High School's team did exactly that — and won. What makes it land is the gap between what's on paper (a high school contest) and what's actually at stake for the kids (nearly everything). Stream Spare Parts online on iFILM.
