Nomination Year: 2011
SYNOPSIS: Michael Nouri is a rich and brilliant software designer,
Marina Sirtis is his ex-wife, a "cyber-ethicist", and Timothy
Busfield is their old college buddy, a failure and computer
hacker. Tim befriends the heroes' teenage son and tricks him
into infecting Michael's key software program -- an infrastructure
management program -- with a computer virus. The virus immediately
develops intelligence and decides to wipe out humanity, mostly
by making nuclear power plants explode. Of course, parents and
child must all team up to defeat it and, in true after-school
special fashion, everybody is reunited to live happily ever
after in the end (except, of course, for Timothy Busfield).
