Allegedly based on the short story "Second Variety", by Philip K. Dick, first published in 1953.
In the future, Earth establishes mining colonies on other planets. A radiation problem comes up and causes a war between mining corporations on one side and workers and scientists on the other. The latter develop killing machines to fight their enemy, but these machines are too intelligent and begin to evolve. An outpost on a distant planet receives a message about the end of the war. Their commander decides to check it out for himself and, with a new recruit, walks up to the planet's government facilities.
A poor film, with a plot which fails to really engage the viewer. Scientifically it is full of holes, and dramatically it is dull.
