The Questor Tapes
Movie • 1974
ReportSynopsis
Project Questor is brainchild of the genius Dr. Vaslovik: he developed plans to build an android super-human. Although he's disappeared and half of his programming tape was erased in the attempt to decode it, his former colleagues continue the project and finally succeed. But Vaslovik seems to have installed a secret program in Questor's brain: He flees and starts to search for Vaslovik. Since half of his knowledge is missing, he needs the help of Jerry Robinson, who's now under suspect of having stolen the android.

Saying no because I’m not sure where the line is drawn. Questor is programmed to cease functioning if he cannot fulfill his purpose, so there’s talk of that, and Darro sacrifices himself to protect Questor and Jerry

Not 100% sure this counts, but Questor, being a robot, is called “it” quite a lot, despite seemingly using he/him pronouns

Questor puts a hand over Jerry’s mouth at one point while kidnapping him, but releases him very quickly, and Jerry doesn’t seem to be struggling to breathe.
