Colossus - The Forbin Project (1970) Part 6

Charles Forbin(Eric Braeden) 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 it's plans for the management of the world under it's guidance. Forbin and the other scientists(Susan Clark, Gordon Pinsent, William Schallert and Leonid Rostoff) form a technological resistance to Colossus which must operate underground.

great story and movie for its time

[invincibleironman3]

this was a very interesting film. it didnt have the dystopian ending of Planet of the Apes, nor the over the top cult-monsters like Omega man. It is still very tense in every scene. It works not only as an SF film, but as an espionage-thriller. Looked like they shot on location in Rome

Oh the evil communist Russians, killing their scientists, black coats and all.

Cold war propaganda movie of its time.

I love how governments lie to their people. Fucking pieces of shit

Can't understand why the Russian computer scientist had to be killed just because Colossus and Guardian demanded it. The computers wouldn't have known if he had been killed or not so why not just pretend he had been eliminated instead of wasting a brilliant mind? Apart from that, I'm loving this film! I always thought that War Games was the first movie of its type, but this precedes it by 13 years! Thanks for uploading.

cool--never noticed this before:

colossus/guardian (colaurdian? guarlossus?) begins to refer to itself as "I" here

Only 2 good sci fi movies ever, this and the andromeda strain. Both were semi realistic
