Brubaker 1980
In 1969, Prison Warden Henry Brubaker (Robert Redford) arrives at Wakefield State Prison in Arkansas disguised as an inmate. He immediately witnesses rampant abuse and corruption. Brubaker attempts to reform the prison, with an eye towards prisoner rehabilitation and human rights, clashing frequently with corrupt officials on the state prison board who have profited from graft for decades.

I learned about this film from JAH. It sort of parallels his being dropped behind enemy lines to observe and assess the enemies and prisoners without them initially knowing who he is.

I watched it from a DVD. Look around for it, maybe try 123movies.

The Manchurian Candidate
The original 1962 version is better than the remake. Its a political thriller, set in the early 1950s. The plot centers on veteran Raymond Shaw, part of a prominent political family. Shaw is brainwashed by communists after his Army platoon is captured. He returns to civilian life in the United States, where he becomes an unwitting assassin in an international communist conspiracy.

When science fiction becomes reality: Experts reveal the most realistic APOCALPYSE movies - so, does your favourite blockbuster give us a glimpse at how the world will end?
- Experts reveal films about nuclear war and bioweapons are the most realistic
- Films about rogue AI like The Terminator also have key elements of truth
But hold onto your popcorn, as experts say that some of these disastrous plotlines could actually become a reality.
While we don't need to worry about an asteroid wiping us out like in Armageddon, experts warn that a bioweapon leak like 12 Monkeys
The most realistic apocalypse movies, according to experts
- 12 Monkeys
An escaped bioweapon could pose a genuine threat of destroying humanity.
The experts say that 12 Monkeys, starring Bruce Willis (pictured) has a more realistic version of the apocalypse since it suggests that an escaped bioweapon could destroy humanity
In just six hours the AI found more than 40,000 new toxic molecules - many more dangerous than existing chemical weapon
- The Terminator
A rogue AI like Skynet would be unpredictable and may wipe out, or enslave humanity to reach its own ends.
'But the real villain of the Terminator franchise is Skynet; this autonomous AI that decides to launch [nuclear] weapons because it's worried that it's going to be turned off.
Experts are genuinely worried about an AI like Skynet escaping human control
The five ways AI could destroy humanity
- Rogue AI
Humanity may create an AI so powerful we can't control it.
In this scenario, open-ended goals could lead to AI overthrowing humanity.
- Bioweapons
AI can accelerate the discovery of bioweapons and toxic compounds.
In the hands of terrorists, this could lead to a devastating plague being unleashed.
- AI let loose deliberately
AI could be used to create a powerful cyberweapon that could destroy the world's systems.
Experts warn some groups could let this loose deliberately.
- Nuclear war
Military decision-making on nuclear weapons could be turned over to AI.
If this is the case then conflict could rapidly escalate into a 'flash war' destroying the world.
- Gradual replacement
We might slowly turn over control to the AI without even noticing it.
Humanity could quietly be eclipsed by its creation.
'If humans are threats or obstacles that could prevent an AI from reaching such a goal, the AI may well try to remove these threats or obstacles, with possibly fatal consequences.'
The Matrix (pictured) imagined that AI became sentient and enslaved humanity. In reality AI wouldn't even need to be sentient to overthrow humanity but could simply be pursuing goals we set it with too much power
- Threads
The threat of nuclear war is real and could totally destroy humanity.
Countless films from 'The Day After' to the ultra-gritty 'Threads' have explored the idea of what could happen if the nukes start to fly.
During the 80s, in the so-called 'second Cold War', the nuclear war film even enjoyed a bit of a renaissance with Hollywood hits like WarGames taking to the screen.
In this classic sci-fi thriller, a bored hacker accidentally breaks into the American nuclear control system and brings the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation.
When it was released, the film was so troublingly realistic that then-president Ronald Reagan is believed to have overhauled his administration's approach cybersecurity after watching.
But what really makes WarGames so realistic is it captures one of the most terrifying things about nuclear war: just how fast it can happen.
WarGames (pictured) shows just how quickly computing issues could lead to nuclear war. The film is so persuasive that Ronald Reagan is believed to have overhauled his cybersecurity policy after watching
What are the experts' favourite films about nuclear war?
- Dr Strangelove
America teeters on the brink of nuclear war after a general orders an attack on the Soviet Union.
- Threads
Survivors of a nuclear attack attempt to survive in a post-apocalyptic Sheffield.
The 1984 British film 'Threads' (pictured) paints a harrowing picture of nuclear war. In reality the real threat would be a nuclear winter that would lead to 95 per cent of Britain starving to death
- The Day After
The residents of a small town in rural Kansas grapple with the aftermath of nuclear war.
- WarGames
A teen hacker accidentally triggers World War III after gaining access to the US military supercomputer.
Both Armageddon and Deep Impact play out a terrifying prospect: what if Earth was set on a collision course with an asteroid big enough to wipe out humanity?
The real danger is that Earth gets hit by an asteroid big enough to reach Earth but too small to detect in time, rather than a Hollywood-worthy 'planet killer'.

In the not so distant past, this movie would never have been released. Now it wins awards. The making of this movie alone is despicable let alone releasing it to view for public consumption.

Tucker asked Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, "When you reach the point when the individual can no longer liberate himself from anything, when he's just not even human, what's the next step after that?"
Dugin replied that it is described in American pictures. There is nothing more realistic than science fiction. If you consider Matrix, Terminator, you have so many coinciding versions of the future. The future with the post-human or human optional situation or AI. Hollywood has made many films and I think they portray correctly reality of the close future... the fact that you have no bright traditional future described in the films... everything is quite in the shadow, quite black.
I know that there are teaching movies, like The Matrix, but he is right. I don't think I can name a movie about the future where things will be Nice, bright and loving, which after Judgement Day will occur. But he mentions these movies are like a political manifest (and I'm assuming he means by the people behind the scenes making them). We do see the triumphs, like in Stars Wars and defeating the Empire, but a world past the celebration isn't shown.
Anyway, I watched an older movie that reminds me of the same dark scenario Dugin mentioned. The beginning scene might remind everyone of the pandemic lockdown.
Robot Overlords
A 2014 British independent film, starring Callan McAuliffe, Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson. Not long after the invasion and occupation of Earth by a extraterrestrial race of powerful robots wanting human knowledge and ingenuity, humans are confined to their homes. Leaving without permission would be to risk their lives. Monitored by the electronic implants in their necks, the robot sentries are able to track the movement of humans in order to control them.

I've seen this maybe 3-4 times but I'm not sure I've ever even watched it carefully until the end. Very much a B-movie and not in the good sense (like some cult classic B-movies) Does it have any lessons? Or any redeeming qualities?
Here's one that I've quite enjoyed. The Last Mimzy
Keywords: people sleeping, social media, mobile phones, a crystal-stone that teaches, children (child like faith?)...
Does anyone recognize from what movie this is from, please?
