A U.S. Defense Department computer, named Colossus, develops a mind of its own and starts sharing classified information with its Russian counterpart, a computer called Guardian. A frighteninging believable thriller that was ahead of its time in 1970 and is still timely. (official distributor synopsis)

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. ()
