“Watchbird” – It seems like the perfect solution to a ballooning crime rate – filling the skies with flying robotic droids that can prevent murders before they take place. However, nobody told these “Watchbirds” that all life depends on a formula of carefully balanced killing. Robert Sheckley’s renowned story examines one of the most important questions of our time – is it wise to sacrifice our liberty in the name of our security? Join host Professor Stephen Hawking for this expedition into the outer realms of scientific imagination starring award-winning actors Sean Astin and James Cromwell.
