Tom Selleck is fleeing from an evil mad scientist with a crack throttle ( played by Gene Simmons from Kiss ) so he gets into a freight lift on a building land site — only to go hundred of feet up , and get trapped , when the elevator breaks down . And then the pestilent robot worm show up …
This is a scene from Runaway , the 1984 motion picture directed by Michael Crichton from his own script . It takes place in the near future , when golem are everywhere — and someone is turning them into ( what else ? ) killers . This succession is still surprisingly in force , peculiarly the flake where the robot suddenly sticks out a sharp blade and stabs Selleck in the helping hand .
Although who would design an lift where the override button is underneath the lift , so you have to climb out and swing out underneath to get it moving again ? ( I reckon you ’re supposed to lift that hatch and turn over under , but still . )
