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.

    These guys had it all wrong - all they had to do was load Microsoft Windows on this beast and then all those orange LEDs/nixies would have gone blue from the screen of death.

    An entirely underrated (and somewhat forgotten) film (with a great "Modern" score). It plays so well after 40 years. Probably the best commentary on the interface of the human ego with technology since "Forbidden Planet" and, though horrifying, can be read somewhat as a black comedy. Stunning.

    A super computer's physical interface should be limited to screen monitors and nothing else. Sadly, with computer worship growing every day the main premise of this film is no longer that unlikely.

    This was shown in my high school computer class back in the early 80s. Used to think, as we returned to our little green screens, "how the hell...." But now? I can see "how the hell".

    You are correct. That is Eric Braeden.
