All I can say is if you haven't watched Terminator: the

being like John Henry and save us from the terminators.
Quite tje opposite
of Colossus: the Forbin Project. Pretty freaky scary stuff.
I finally got around to watching Colossus: The Forbin
Project a few months
ago. Notwithstanding all the cool old tech and how it was
integrated into
the story, I found it to be verily unsatisfying, and maybe
even a little
dumb.
A major problem with the Forbin project is when I first saw
it, I knew that the permissive action link in the
nuclear-armed missile would prevent it from being detonated
in the silo. The PAL requires acceleration of liftoff,
coast and deceleration when re-entering the atmosphere (at
least) before the weapon can be armed. this function is NOT
under computer control.
