Billion Dollar Brain

(1967)Directed by Ken Russell111 minThriller
“Pow… Power… Brainpower”

A package arrives for Harry Palmer (Michael Caine), a former British spy now working as a private detective, and it pulls him into a plot to bring down Communism with the help of a supercomputer. Nobody in it is sure who is working for whom, including Leo Newbigen (Karl Malden) and General Midwinter (Ed Begley). Ken Russell, in his first big-budget film, fills the frame with oversized sets and loud, restless camera moves.
