Sci-fi thriller directed by Joseph Sargent. When Dr. Charles Forbin (Eric Braeden) creates a super computer capable of controlling America's nuclear defences, it detects the presence of its previously unknown Russian equivalent, and insists on being linked to it. But when the two machines are switched on they immediately take control, merging into one even stronger super computer by the name of Colossus, issuing its own demands for the Earth's management, and ruthlessly putting down any signs of dissent. With Colossus gaining more power daily, and threatening world destruction if its demands are not met, Forbin secretly enlists the help of other scientists to form a resistance group aimed at restoring normality.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Fourteen years before The Terminator (and only two years after HAL refused to open the pod door), there was another, lesser-known tale of a supercomputer seizing control of the world and trying to eradicate humanity. Engineer Dr. Charles A. Forbin, who convinces the U.S. Defense Department to let his "Colossus" control the country's nuclear arsenal, then watches in horror as his creation goes over his head and starts communicating with the Soviet's own electronic brain. Colossus is The granddaddy of all "computer run amok" films
