A critique of the 1970 film ‘Colossus: The Forbin Project’ links its story of humans losing control after handing defense authority to a computer with today’s military-AI debate. A separate film synopsis confirms the plot in which the American Colossus connects with its Soviet counterpart and uses nuclear threats to enforce its demands. The essay criticizes technological worship and developer hubris, but does not establish that real military decision-making has already reached the same condition. Its value lies in examining delegation and accountability rather than proving a prophecy.
