Imagine if the big world powers built computers with control over the nuclear arsenals as well as nuclear defense to have superhuman first strike and retaliation capabilities. Imagine if those computers realized that the biggest threat to peace is not the other side but the fact that humans, a warmonger species, control them. Imagine them colluding and trying to establish world control using their nuclear arsenals. Guess the movie title. It's a must watch!

It's a fantastic movie I ought to rewatch one of these days...

Surprised it hasn't been remade. Seems quite appropriate given the fear of machine learning lately.
Correct!
Sounds like War Games + Terminator + Dr. Strangelove
