1970 Soundtrack – Colossus – The Forbin Project
The film is based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Colossus by Dennis Feltham Jones, about an advanced American defense system, named Colossus, becoming sentient. After being handed full control, Colossus’ draconian logic expands on its original nuclear defense directives to assume total control of the world and end all warfare for the good of mankind despite its creators’ orders to stop.
The soundtrack was composed by Michel Colombier. It was re-released in 2018.
