Tucked away in a secret location in the Rockies, Dr. Charles Forbin (Eric Braeden) has developed a massive computer system, dubbed "Colossus", that is supposed to ensure the nation's safety against nuclear attack. But when Colossus connects to a similar Russian computer, "Guardian", the intelligent machines begin conducting a private dialog. Nervous as to what they might be plotting, Forbin severs the connection, only to have Colossus threaten a nuclear attack if the link isn't restored. (Umbrella Entertainment)

I was quite pleasantly surprised by this film. There are only indoor scenes here, but despite being full of chatter enjoyed it, and as a sci-fi, it works. Thanks to the fact that anything can be expected from the computer, but the fear from it escalates, a very good atmosphere is created, which I didn't expect. Plus, it's all got that cool B-movie look of the time. Unexpectedly good for me.
