Robby Benson plays a scientist who created a computer program called "Star Sheild" a defensive system that counters missles. It goes wrong and he has a break-down. To help him recover he moves into his cabin without his wife to "be alone."
While there he alters the computer and program to be more humanistic, and names it Lucy. The voice of Lucy is Kate Jackson.
When his wife comes to the cabin to reconcile, Lucy gets jealous. Guess what happens...

I really enjoyed this movie when it first aired on the Science Fiction Channel. Watching it brings back some great memories. I thought the characters were well played by all and the premise interesting. I thought Robbie Benson's performance was especially moving as the creator of Star Shield (a.k.a Lucy) who starts to develop human emotions with good and bad implications. I guess the underlying message might be about the dangers of technology taking control of our lives, but I think it's just a fun romantic fantasy not meant to take itself too seriously. I'd like to see it on DVD, but I guess its out of print.

Was happy to get to view this movie again! Had seen it several years ago and enjoyed it then....and am enjoying it now!
