Harry Houdini stars in this 1918 science fiction adventure serial about a criminal organization and a rampaging cyborg. It was filmed several years before the word Robot was first uttered, and more than 100 years ago.
It is presented here with an entirely new score, and some other light digital repairs. It is about a criminal gang, a human brain in a mechanical body, and features the most famous magician to have ever lived performing acts of daring escape in nearly every episode. It was filmed several years before the word Robot was first uttered, and more than 100 years ago.
