美國海軍海之虎號潛艇即將退役，海軍少將雪曼早早地來到潛艇上，翻看航海日潦草網?？粗约寒斈甑挠涗?，昔日情景仍歷歷在目。將軍思緒萬千，浮想聯翩……. 　　太平洋戰(zhàn)爭初期，美國海軍在東南亞步步退守。海之虎號潛艇在港口幾乎被日軍飛機炸沉，雪曼艇長（卡里·格蘭特飾）的任務是在兩周之內完成平時需要兩個月才能做完的事——把完全失去航行和戰(zhàn)斗能力的海之虎號修好并撤退，但時局艱難，海之虎號連最起碼的補給都很難弄到。海軍上尉霍頓前來報到，此人無論穿著打扮或言談舉止，都象個十足的紈绔子弟，而且有關潛艇專業(yè)的知識他一概不懂，雪曼艇長覺得自己又多了一重麻煩。 　　霍頓上尉主動請纓之下，當上了海之虎號的軍需官。誰知這正是最能發(fā)揮他長才的職位。他妥為運籌，使海之虎號的軍需補給呈現一派欣欣向榮的景象，很快就拔錨起航了，而基地指揮官則忙著追查搬空基地倉庫及他本人辦公室的竊賊。 　　霍頓...

6080Eric Braeden stars as Dr. Charles Forbin, who has created a supercomputer named Colossus, built solely for the purpose of controlling the nuclear defenses of the Western alliance. It isn't too long after, however, that the Russians announce that they too have built a similar computer for those same purposes on their side--Guardian. And when the two machines begin sharing information at a speed nobody can believe, an attempt is made to disable them.　　This unfortunately just raises the machines' ire; and in retaliation, they launch their weapons at each other's home nations. The result is a chilling scenario that is potentially becoming all too real these days.　　COLOSSUS THE FORBIN PROJECT was not a big hit at the box office for various reasons. One is that its cast wasn't exactly well known. Another reason is that its ending isn't exactly a happy one. Still a third reason is that Universal had trouble trying to promote it in the wake of the huge success of Stanley Kubrick'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 programming conflict, Colossus and Guardian remain all too stable, convinced beyond a doubt that they know how to protect Mankind better than Man himself. As the computers point out One inevitable rule is that Mankind is his own worst enemy.　　Joseph Sargent's direction is efficient, and the special effects work of Albert Whitlock still manages to work despite its obvious age. An overlooked gem in the sci-fi genre, this should be given a revival.
