Tagline
Harry Benson is a brilliant computer scientist. For three minutes a day, he is violently homicidal.

Great artwork by Ken Barr for this 1972 sci-fi film from Mike Hodges (opens in a new tab), the director of Get Carter (opens in a new tab) and Flash Gordon (opens in a new tab), based on the Michael Crichton (opens in a new tab) novel of the same name. The Terminal Man (opens in a new tab) wasn’t particularly well received and was never given a UK cinema release. It was only released on DVD in 2009 as a part of the on demand Warner Archive (opens in a new tab) program.

There’s a strange bit of trivia on the Wikipedia (opens in a new tab) page for the film: 

Terrence Malick (opens in a new tab), the director of Badlands (opens in a new tab), reportedly has written to Hodges expressing how much he loved watching The Terminal Man.

The original trailer is on YouTube (opens in a new tab).
