Colossus: the Forbin Project
Colossus was a fictional computer featured in the 1969 apocalyptic science fiction movie, Colossus: The Forbin Project loosely based on the 1967 novel Colossus by Dennis Feltham Jones. It has been speculated that Jones named his rogue computer after the "real" Colossus computer, because of the secrecy that surrounded the project.
In the movie, Colossus is the Allied military supercomputer. It links up with Guardian, the Soviet supercomputer, and the combined entity takes over the world from humanity.
