   量子资源网 提供本片资源  　　Eric Braeden stars as Dr. Charles Forbin, who has created a suercomuter named Colossus, built solely for the urose of controlling the nuclear defenses of the Western alliance. It isn#39;t too long after, however, that the Russians announce that they too have built a similar comuter for those same uroses on their side--Guardian. And when the two machines begin sharing information at a seed nobody can believe, an attemt is made to disable them.br\　　This unfortunately just raises the machines#39; ire; and in retaliation, they launch their weaons at each other#39;s home nations. The result is a chilling scenario that is otentially becoming all too real these days.br\　　COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT was not a big hit at the box office for various reasons. One is that its cast wasn#39;t exactly well known. Another reason is that its ending isn#39;t exactly a hay one. Still a third reason is that Universal had trouble trying to romote it in the wake of the huge success of Stanley Kubrick#39;s 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. The latter reason is obvious: Colossus and Guardian, like HAL in the Kubrick movie, become central characters here. The difference here is that while HAL malfunctions due to a rogramming conflict, Colossus and Guardian remain all too stable, convinced beyond a doubt that they know how to rotect Mankind better than Man himself. As the comuters oint out: quot;One inevitable rule is that Mankind is his own worst enemy.quot;br\　　Joseh Sargent#39;s direction is efficient, and the secial effects work of Albert Whitlock still manages to work desite its obvious age. An overlooked gem in the sci-fi genre, this should be given a revival.
