Pulse - 1988
A movie "loosely" based on the 84 story by John Varley called " Press Enter []". X Files also did a take-off on it, but all i remember was a "defense" satellite targeting a hide out trailer. I believe both of those were based on an un-freindly AI, but the Pulse movie was just a bit o' evil in the lines.
Some fabulous macro photog of electronic components overheating,and the play out of circuit boards to city streets is reminiscent of Tron.
An exemplary display of how important music and audio are to make suspenseful and tense tableau. Acting just adequate, and decent S.E. of elect discharge don't date it to bad.
Press Enter [] , Hugo and Nebula for Novella story, originally in Asimov's SF mag.
