Plot

1951, the USSR: as the Cold War intensifies, the infamous dictator Joseph Stalin is suffering from illness and his death is imminent. Meanwhile, KGB agent Stoichkov discovers a mysterious stage show in the Baltic region featuring three creepy dolls: Robert, Kalashnikov and Miss Cyclops.

Spellbound by the lifelike animation displayed by the dolls on stage, Stoichkov investigates the show’s host and discovers he is a German Toymaker who owns a mystical book that holds the key to eternal life. Believing the Toymaker and his book will help Stalin escape death, Stoichkov kidnaps him and they board a plane to Moscow.

However, the Toymaker’s living creations have followed them. When the plane is in mid-air all hell breaks loose as Stoichkov and his team of KGB agents realise the three dolls are on board and will stop at nothing to rescue their puppet master. Fasten your seat belt and prepare for blood-soaked toy terror at 30,000 feet.

Critical response

Culture Crypt gave the film a review score of 20 out of 100 amd wrote;

I won’t end with my usual conclusion claiming if Robert comes back again, which he probably will, I won’t be joining him. [5]

mlmillerwrites gave the film negative review and wrote;

If there is another ROBERT movie, I’ll cover it. But it looks like the filmmaker has moved on to other projects, so it looks like Robert can finally be at rest. [6]
