Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964-68)

A 100-episode Irwin Allen science fiction series, about the Seaview and its crew. Seaview was a 600-foot long atomic powered super submarine, owned and operated by the Nelson Institute of Marine Research, headed by Admiral Nelson, creator and skipper of the Seaview.

The Indestructible Man (1965)

The Seaview recovers a space capsule containing a robot which has just returned from a space mission. But something has happened to it during its trip. Once aboard the submarine, the robot becomes a destructive menace.

The Machines Strike Back (1965)

A robot drone submarine malfunctions and fires three missiles at New York. The Seaview manages to disable two of the missiles, while the third - luckily - lands harmlessly in a forest. Nelson and his crew must find out what exactly went wrong.

The Wax Men (1967)

The Seaview is asked to transport a number of crates (supposedly containing statues from Atlantis) back to Washington for an exhibition. But the crates really contain wax replicas of the crew, under the control of a malicious clown, and they soon take control of the submarine. When Lee Crane comes on duty late, he's the only human left free. Can he foil the deadly plot ? (That is, of course, a rhetorical question.)

The Deadly Dolls (1967)

A puppeteer - Professor Multiple - comes aboard the Seaview to entertain the crew. His vocal impressions of the crew, and his dolls' resemblances to the real crew members, are incredible. But Multiple is really the robot tool of a machine-ruled civilization, and plans to take over the submarine.

V.R. Troopers/Cybertron (1991)

Industrialist Carl Ziktor's maniacal virtual reality alter-ego Grimlord has been developing an army of (virtual) warrior robots. Ryan Steel (whose father - now disappeared - worked for many years against Grimlord), together with his friends J.B. and Kaitlin, use VR power to prevent Grimlord from 'actualizing' his robot army into the real world.
