Machine over Man!
3 March 2020
This "Twilight Zone" episode from season 5 number 2 year 1963 called "Steel" is one that was ahead of it's time having themes of the future. The year is 1974 and the sport of boxing has been outlawed as now robots fight inside the ring! The tale involves a power hungry manager and his mechanic who want their robot to win in the ring of sweet science only this machine seems to have problems as it's a little worn so a plan is made the duo make the gamble for one to fight as a human underneath a robot face only it just might be a mismatch against a new state of the art fighting robot machine! Overall episode that was well done and ahead of it's time teaching a lesson not to gamble or try to defeat technology as it proves machine has overtaken and defeated man.
