A cerebral Cold War thriller about humanity's loss of control to its own creation, driven by existential dread and the paranoia of technological inevitability.

The U.S. has handed over control of its nuclear defense system to the Colossus supercomputer designed by scientist Dr. Charles Forbin. It soon becomes clear, that the now-sentient Colossus is far more intelligent than its creator realized—with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.
