Storyline

Scientists working on induced hibernation for space travel are killed, apparently by machines acting independently. Security agent Sheppard arrives at the secret underground space research base to investigate possible sabotage. He finds that the whole base is coordinated by supercomputer NOVAC and its robots Gog and Magog; and a strange aircraft is detected high overhead...

Trivia

As of April 2005, only one complete dual-projector stereoscopic 3-D print is known to exist anywhere in the world. The Left and Right prints do not match: the color is severely faded on one side, but the film is still viewable in 3-D. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When Richard Egan's character first reports to the underground laboratory, his I.D. card is compared to his record they have on file. The two cards are placed on the glass plate of a large slide projector and projected on to a wall. You can see the technician move the cards but the image on the wall doesn't move. Then he removes Egan's card to return it to him but the image remains on the wall. See more »
