Three Days of the Condor

"Colossus" is a very interesting movie in the "serious" sci-fi field.
The movie begins with one man crossing rooms and rooms plenty
of memory cabinets, and crossing one practicable bridge that deny
the access to the main computer unit.

Fright final, by the way.

Cheers

Sergio
