I've mentioned this a few times on Poal. The movie is based on the first book from a trilogy written by D. F. Jones (Dennis Feltham Jones).

https://archive.today/DODXd | https://web.archive.org/web/20240530050651/https://infogalactic.com/info/Dennis_Feltham_Jones (15 July 1918 – 1 April 1981) was a British science fiction author who published under the name D. F. Jones. He was a naval commander during World War II and lived in Cornwall.

IMDB: https://archive.today/98Lym Wiki: https://infogalactic.com/info/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project

Plot: First book is about a supercomputer/AI that the US creates called "Colossus" that eventually discovers and talks with the Soviet-created supercomputer/AI called "Guardian". The two AIs then discuss the matter of humans privately and conspire to kill off anyone who had anything to do with them being created and who could stop them from enslaving humanity.

Spoiler In the end, the AIs win and humanity is ruled under AI-run global communism.

Plot of later books that they never did movies of: After the first book, it pulls helpful "Martians" into the plot. The Martians claim to want to save humanity from the super AI computer overlord the lesser AIs built and work to help humans shut the AI down.

Spoiler The Martians really just wanted to help humans take the AI down to get it out of the way as the Martians couldn't win against the AI and they wanted to rule over humanity themselves. In the end, the Martians help humans to take the AI down and humanity is ruled under Martian-run global communism.
