The movie I think you're refering to is the Questor Tapes written by
none other than Gene Roddenbery as a pilot for a new show after Star 
Trek got the axe. It involves the efforts of an incomplete android to
return to it's creator and find it's purpose in life. Helping him in all
this is the engineer (Mike Farrell of MASH fame) who helped put him 
together. The show closes in almost typical Roddenbery style. The android
finds out that his creator lies under Mount Arrarat (where Noah's ark came
to rest) and he and Farrell race there followed by all sorts of nastys. Whene
they find the creator it turns out that he too is an android and you see all
the previous androids (who watch after humanity) stretching off into the 
distance. Not a bad movie and may even have made a decent series.
