Roujin Z (老人Z, Rōjin Zetto?) is a 1991 Japanese anime film written by Katsuhiro Otomo—best known for Akira—and directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo.
A group of scientists and hospital administrators have developed the Z-001, a computerized hospital bed with robotic features. The Z-001 takes complete care of the patient: it can dispense food and medicine, remove excretory waste, bathe and exercise the patient lying within its frame. The bed is driven by its own built-in atomic power reactor — and in the event of an atomic meltdown, the bed (including the patient lying within) would become automatically sealed in concrete. The first patient to be "volunteered" to test the bed is a dying widower named Kiyuro Takazawa. He is an invalid who is cared for by a young nursing student named Haruko. The electronic elements within the Z-001 somehow manages to communicate Takazawa's thoughts through Haruko’s office computer, and he uses the communication to cry for help.
Haruko seeks the aid of a group of computer hackers in the hospital's geriatric ward to create and install a computerized vocal simulation of Takazawa's late wife in the Z-001. This, however, gives the Z-001 its own personality, and it detaches itself from its moorings and escapes from the hospital with Takazawa in its grasp.
Following Takazawa's request to be by the seashore, the Z-001 heads to the beach. However, the machine's creators discover what transpired and reveal that the computerized hospital bed is actually an experimental weapons robot. A second machine, similar in design to the Z-001 but created specifically for military purposes, is dispatched to intercept and destroy the Z-001. Haruko is able to stop the military machine by jamming an oxygen tank into its brain.
