Warning: Spoilers
*Spoiler/plot- Cyborg 2087, 1966. In th distant future of 2087, two scientists develop a time traveling device with a cyborg. The cyborg is supposed to go back in time and prevent a scientist from perfecting his new 'telepathy'. In the future time, a dictatorship government uses this telepathy to control it's citizenry and abuse their rights.

*Special Stars- Michael Rennie, Karen Steele, Wendell Cory, Warren, Stevens, Eduard Franz, Harry Carey Jr.

*Theme- Justice in any time is important enough to preserve.

*Trivia/location/goofs- One of the last film appearance of Michael Rennie. Supposedly the idea for many later sci-fi films: Terminator, Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, Time Cop, and etc.

*Emotion- I wanted to like this film for it's premise. Even though it's a time travel and cyborg film, this one is very crudely done with little production values. It suffers from total unbelievability and bad screen elements. The necessary sci-fi 'suspension of believability' never occurs and screen things are unintentionally laughable. The plot is essentially a 'chase' film' between the future bad guys police robots chasing the good guy cyborg in 1966. This film had high hopes but is essentially a waste of good film plot ideas and your time. And you can't go back in a time machine to get it again...A waste of your time & attention.
