The Outer Limits
I, ROBOT
Directed by Leon Benson
Written by Robert C. Dennis
Based on "I, Robot" by Eando Binder (pseudonym for Earl and Otto Binder)


Dr. Charles Link, a small-town research scientist, constructs a robot. When Link is murdered, the robot, Adam, is blamed and declared to be a Frankenstein monster. Grotesque in size and appearance, Adam has a computer brain imbued with a gentle personality and most human capabilities.

Apprehended, the robot is threatened with destruction by authorities. Nina, Link's niece, gets Adam a defense attorney, Thurman Cutler, to force the matter into court for an official judgment in a trial without precedent.
