Description
1. "I, Robot"When a robot named Adam is accused of killing his own creator, it's up to a civil liberties attorney (Leonard Nimoy) to investigate and defend him. Is Adam capable of murder? Or did a military retrofit of the normally docile robot turn him into a ruthless killing machine?2. "The Hunt"Since the ban of hunting animals, man has turned to new game: androids! But the sport gets turned on its head when a pack of androids led by Kel (Doug Savant) decides to fight back. Now the hunters become the hunted in a terrifying game of cat and mouse.3. "Resurrection" Humans are gone. Androids rule the earth. But when a couple of scientific droids (Nick Mancuso, Heather Graham) decide to resurrect man from DNA in a single human hair, they unleash the anger of a military machine hellbent on keeping the species extinct.4. "The Camp"For generations, mankind has existed in concentration-type camps under the brutal watch of an alien enemy. But as conditions worsen, a maverick woman leads a successful uprising that reveals a surprising ? and life-altering ? truth about their foes.5. "Glitch"An "everyman" named Tom gets a terrible shock when he learns that he's not a man at all ? but a highly complex android! Now he's on a quest to find his creator before the military turns him into a cyber-assassin for the government.6. "Small Friends"Gene Morton, a jailed scientist, has created incredible microscopic robots that can fix anything mechanical. But when another inmate sees their amazing abilities, he demands that the microbots either break him from prison...or he's going to break Morton's neck!

 great compilation September 12, 2008
A. Crawford (Houston, Texas USA)
If you liked the TV show you'll enjoy the DVD's. Double sided DVD's. Handy to have the episodes with the same theme on one DVD.
 Imaginative entertainment October 7, 2007
Roger J. Buffington (Huntington Beach, CA United States)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is really good entertainment; well-written storylines, decent acting, and overall quite imaginative and very well done. The first story, "I, Robot" derives from a famous Isaac Asimov story in which a robot is put on trial for allegedly murdering a human being. This is an excellent episode. My other two favorites are "The Glitch" and "The Camp." Both will rock even the most jaded viewers. "The Glitch" in particular raises some interesting moral questions about what it means to be human, and humane.
Overall, like most Outer Limits collections, this is entertainment aimed at the viewer's intellect, unlike most TV entertainment. The thoughtful viewer will enjoy this collection very much.
