While visiting the Soviet Union, American scientist Lucas Martino is nearly killed in a car accident. The Russians are only able to save Martino's brain and eyes, and they ingeniously create a cyborg humanoid body. This functioning and thinking robo-man is released back to the Americans six months later. However, when FBI agent Sean Rogers realizes that Martino had been in the medical care of his old rival, he suspects that this cyborg may not really be the true Martino after all.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Lots of Talk submitted by generic username on August 15, 2019, 9:05am Algis Budrys's 1958 novel about personal identity is recast as a 1974 Cold War thriller that doesn't thrill. Still, the themes of the book are strong enough that the film occasionally overcomes low production values and weak dialogue. You should disregard the DVD cover indicating this is an action film. It isn't.
