This is one of the episodes I taped on a cassette tape and listened to over and over again till the tape broke! I am about to sit down and listen to this after many years. lol I have quoted lines from this particular play.

In some future time, a group of soldiers are held prisoner by their enemy and are gaurded by a group of conscience-less robots. Lithgow is great in this interesting story of man versus machine. Genre: Science-Fiction

First rate production—Lithgow is terrific, the story moves at a good pace, and generates some real tension. While I have not heard every episode of RMT, this is my choice for the best of the shows I've heard so far.

1400 captured prisoners of a future war are sent to a POW camp on a remote asteroid operated solely by machines. However, nobody bothers to inform their robot jail-keepers when the war ends. Stars John Lithgow.
