Additional Information
Additional Information
We built a super computer with a mind of its own and now we must fight it for the world!
This is the dawning of the Age of Colossus (where peace is compulsory... freedom is forbidden... and Man's greatest invention could be Man's greatest mistake).
Forbin is the designer of an incredibly sophisticated computer that will run all of America's nuclear defenses. Shortly after being turned on, it detects the existence of Guardian, the Soviet counterpart, previously unknown to US Planners. Both computers insist that they be linked, and after taking safeguards to preserve confidential material, each side agrees to allow it. As soon as the link is established the two become a new Super computer and threaten the world with the immediate launch of nuclear weapons if they are detached. Colossus begins to give its plans for the management of the world under its guidance. Forbin and the other scientists form a technological resistance to Colossus which must operate underground.
Release Date: May 4 , 1970
Distrib: Universal
A very underrated film that still has the power to chill nearly 45 years later.
Trivia: Name these computer related films by their tagline and name the computer within the story?
A) Never was a woman violated as profanely... Never was a woman subject to inhuman love like this... Never was a woman prepared for a more perverse destiny...
B) Plug in to your worst nightmare
C) It traps you in your own house... then pulls the plug.
