No navio El Mira há um grande entusiasmo, pois o super computador do navio, que é carinhosamente chamado de Max, previu precisamente quando e em qual lugar uma cápsula espacial iria cair. O tenente Ferguson "Fergie" Howard (Steve McQueen) também fica bem animado, mas por outro motivo: tem a idéia de usar Max para prever os números que vão cair na roleta. O cientista do navio, Jason Eldridge (Jim Hutton), confirma que isto pode ser feito, se algumas variáveis forem fornecidas para Max. Ele convence Eldridge a participar do plano de estourar a banca do cassino de Veneza, pois o navio passará por lá.
The story of computers: from electronic tape and punched cards, to austere-looking robots.
This short documentary is a portrait of the early era of computing and the process and implications of the digitization of large amounts of information. Examining the arduous work of assessing and documenting the geographical landscape, including sampling and analysis of soil, forestry, timber, wildlife, resources, industrial sites, and many other aspects, we see that human beings alone couldn't handle the vast amount of information that is collected. A new kind of computer (an “instant library”), the Canada Land Inventory Geo-information System, was developed to help manage and develop Canadian land. This film examines the workings of this new and mysterious machine.

Forbin é o projetista de um computador incrivelmente sofisticado que executará todas as defesas nucleares dos EUA. Pouco depois de ser ligado, ele detecta a existência de Guardian, a contraparte soviética, anteriormente desconhecido pelos estrategistas dos EUA.

Jarnow adapts an architectural grid catalogue of cubic rotations in order to explore a direct relationship between animation procedure and logical numerical operations. The film is as much the making of animation as it is a paper model of a computer. The cube sheet, upon which the film is based, is so constructed that a horizontal cubic rotation and a diagonal pan yields a diagonal rotation. Combinations of these primary moves result in more complex rotations throughout this awe inspiring film.
This documentary was produced in 1980 for WMTV in Madison, Wisconsin. It contains interviews with several Madison residents who were exploring various uses for personal computer technology.
