- Synopsis
- Dr Charles Forbin (Eric Braeden) activates his creation, the super-computer Colossus, which has been designed to take control of all US military installations. Once activated it is sealed into an impenetrable bunker. Moments later the Russians announce the existence of an identical super-computer, Guardian. Colossus demands a line of communication with Guardian and is granted it, but the two computers’ level of discussion soon goes beyond anything understood by man. But when the President orders their link terminated, the two computers fire nuclear missiles and then use their combined threat to impose a new order on mankind for its own good.
