The Questor Tapes (1974)

Project Questor: A project focused on creating the first functional android. Jerry Robinson (Mike Farrell) is Chief Engineer on the project. The project's founder, Dr. Vaslovik, disappeared during the project's development and his programming tapes were corrupted during a copy attempt. Unable to activate the humanoid with a replacement program, the team uses the damaged tapes. The android activates itself (when no one is watching) and escapes the lab in search of its creator.
