Eric Braeden, Susan Clark, Gordon Pinsent
1970
Thinking this will prevent war, the US government gives an impenetrable supercomputer total control over launching nuclear missiles. But what the computer does with the power is unimaginable to its creators.
This classic tale of computer domination strikes resonant chords with current concerns surrounding advanced technologies and autonomy. Eric Braeden embodies Dr. Charles Forbin convincingly; however, certain dated effects detract marginally due today’s heightened expectations regarding graphical fidelity within technologically driven plots. Nevertheless, it remains riveting because it grapples authentically against humanity vs machine dichotomies ahead off its era – garnering merit points accordingly!
