Gemini Man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gemini Man was an American TV series from 1976 starring Ben Murphy as secret agent Sam Casey who was injured in a diving accident which rendered him invisible. The agency called INTERSECT found a way to control his invisiblity by the use of a wrist watch. Pressing a button on the watch would make him invisible, which was a helpful tool in his line of work. He could however, only do this for 15 minutes per day or else he would die. This is the third of four weekly television series based on the H. G. Wells science fiction novel, The Invisible Man.

Two episodes, re-edited into one ninety-minute movie, have been featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, under the title Riding with Death.

Riding with Death used scenes from Colossus: The Forbin Project as establishing shots for sweeping computer room scenes. The “Guardian” logo (“Guardian” was the Russian version of “Colossus”) appears in at least one segment. Though not immediately verifiable, at least one segment uses the “Colossus” speaker/microphone.
