Prisoner of the Machines
Description
During a war between humans and machines, robots capture a team of freedom fighters and lock them up in Asteroid Prison One, but their leader works to break them out.
A group of rebels are taken prisoner by robots during a war between man and machine; and their commander plans to liberate them from Asteroid Prison One.
In the year 2085, 1,400 Earth soldiers, are captured in a battle with the Indasian rebels, who make their headquarters on the moon. The men are flown to an asteroid and guarded by Maks, mechanical foot soldiers who are unaffected by cold, hunger, fatigue, despair and homesickness. To top it all, the Maks have been programmed to allow no prisoners to leave the asteroid, even if the war with the Indasians comes to an end.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
