CYBORG 2087

CYBORG 2087. Franklin Adreon, dir. USA: Feature Film (prod.), 1966. Michael Rennie, star. Made for TV. 86 mins.

Cyborg from 2087 goes back in time to 1966 "to prevent a scientist from creating a device that will later be used as an instrument for mind-control by a totalitarian government" of 2087 (S. F. Ency.); the cyborg succeeds, at the cost of his own existence since the device he persuades the scientist to destroy allowed the creation of cyborgs (S. F. Ency. and Walt Lee). Richard D. Erlich (one of the initial compilers on this Wiki) recalls seeing this film at a drive-in, with a framing gimmick, so it may have had some play after its TV presentation.
