The android Kent is programmed to travel back in time and save humanity from its future. His way leads to earth, which is going to be destroyed by a great rocket-disaster.

Computer-expert Jonathan Driscoll becomes his mentor and tries to help and repair him.

Review:

Although suffering from a few "Terminator" plot similarities this movie-(TV series pilot?) is pretty watchable and not typical of the usual made for TV dross.Pity it wasn't made into what was obviously an attempt as a pilot for a series,I think it would have had the "legs" to make at least a few good episodes.Quite enjoyable and not the usual "aliens and monsters" B movie or Aircraft suspense junk.A few glitches in the continuity,The aircraft boarded changed in mid flight from a Lockheed L1011 Tristar to a Boeing 747b!-good trick that!, and perhaps the "rocket engine test" shouldn't have shown the tail and base of the shuttle Colombia?-not evident on the test pad!Otherwise one of the better efforts as a TV movie.
