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.
I guess by now everyone is familiar with the story from the Terminator movies. Well, this is basically how Skynet is created. I loved the setting of it, the retro-futurism and while this is made at the start of the 70s, it also has that 60s artistic vibe, reminding me of Dr. Strangelove. Directed by Joseph Sargent (who also directed the original “Taking of Pelham 123”), and starring Eric Braeden in the main role (YES, Victor Newman from “The Young and the Restless” - where he starred in 4346 episodes so far) makes this a great old school watch. Six popcorns and it goes into the Movie Vault.
We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you will lose your freedom, freedom is an illusion.
