After Carter's "accident," his mind is uploaded to create the world's first self-aware, computer-generated TV host--Max Headroom! But will Max bow to his creators? Or will he be key to his human alter ego bringing down a network superpower?

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
"Max Headroom" a great 80s sci-fi series

Max Headroom was one of my favorite TV shows in the 80s. I had several VHS tapes filled with episodes I recorded from TV. It's great to see the library has it on DVD.
The trailer in the card catalog doesn't work, but I've found a copy of it on YouTube (for now):
