Twilight Zone Showcase: Androids-R-Us
1959, digital video, black & white.
"The place is here, the time is now, and the journey into the shadows that we're about to watch could be our journey.” This is how the first aired episode of the series grimly announced its unique mix of gothic dread and political paranoia in 1959. Season after season, this highly influential series presented the question "What would it mean to design artificial humans?" The four episodes we have selected from the highly successful series, give this question the characteristic “Zone” treatment. Witness if you will the trials of these lonely, innocent people, confronting impossible dilemmas and existential crises. You have just entered... The Twilight Zone.
