Heh -- check out John Carpenter's very first (extremely low-budget) film, "Dark Star" (1974). It has a real "cult" following. There's a (hilarious) subplot about a "smart bomb" that's a little *too* smart. At one point the crew ends up arguing philosophy with Bomb#20 to try to convince it to do its job.
