Where to Watch Projekt Forbina
- I watched this because Elon Musk named his data center Colossus after this movie. This movie confirmed for me that Elon Musk is the worst person currently alive (at the time of writing (June 2025)) and he has nothing but bad intentions with his A.I. "Elon Musk will be the downfall of the human race if we let him" -Me (2025)
- Colossus: The Forbin Project may look dated on the surface—’70s computers, fashions, and Cold War trappings—but its core premise is exactly what the world still fears today: what happens when an AI becomes self-aware and takes control. The film treats that question with a seriousness that feels eerily modern. The storyline is surprisingly complex, built on sharp, technical dialogue and escalating power shifts between humans and machine. As Colossus tightens its grip, the logic of its decisions and the chilling calm of its “reasoning” become disturbingly convincing. Yes, much of the production screams its era, but if you can look past the old hardware and style, you’re left with a smart, unsettling cautionary tale. It absolutely deserves at least one viewing, if only so you can walk away asking yourself: with everything we’re doing in AI today, are we really prepared for the consequences if something like Colossus ever emerges?
- A forgotten Cold War classic, as well as a heck of a logic puzzle. For a film that starts out with lovingly detailed shots of magnetic tapes, hand-soldered circuit boards, and LCD numerical displays--the height of 1970 tech!--it aged quite well to describe the brooding menace of our internet-connected, constant surveillance world

Forbin tworzy na zlecenie rządu superkomputer Colossus, który dzięki niezwykłej szybkości i niewiarygodnie wysokiej sztucznej inteligencji, ma samodzielnie podejmować najważniejsze decyzje dotyczące spraw państwa. Jego konstruktorzy wierzą, że będzie on w przeciwieństwie do człowieka nieomylny. Wszystko jednak ulega zmianie gdy okazuje się, że Rosjanie także stworzyli bardzo podobną maszynę.
