A 1978 Science Fiction Short Film directed by Dianne Haak, based on "All the Troubles of the World", the Short Story by Isaac Asimov. Runtime is under 23 minutes.After the Title Sequence, the film shifts to Mike Manners's graduation ceremony with his younger brother Ben. Mike is a "swear", a child preparing to swear their allegiance to the government. During the ceremony, Randolph T Hoch explains a number of aspects of their society. He explains how Multivac stores all knowledge and uses that knowledge to prevent crime, indirectly ending punishment as well.Scene change to Chairman Bernard Gulliman's office, who calls Corrections officer Barbara Hammond to demand that she not allow any first-degree murders. Sounding tired, Hammond explains what's being done to prevent those crimes from occuring. Satisfied with her answer, Gulliman hangs up. Hammond and her partner Leemy talk about an unspecified crime and the scene shifts back to the graduation ceremony.Hoch explains how each adult's information forms a picture for Multivac allowing it to predict and protect them before the scene changes back to Hammond's office, where she and Rafe Leemy are discussing "this", and The End of the World as We Know It. Chairman Gulliman calls again, asking for crime figures and suggesting that Multivac's predictions should be expanded to predicting medical issues. Hammond agrees, and Gulliman again hangs up. Hammond and Leemy talk about the unspecified crime, the murder of Multivac.Ben and Mike arrive home after Joseph Manners has been put under house arrest. The family worries together before the scene goes back to officer Hammond pacing in her office. The likelihood of Multivac's murder has risen. They discuss telling the Chairman, and Hammond orders Rafe to arrest Joseph Manners so they can see what happens to the probabilities.With his father taken away by Corrections, Ben sneaks out of the house and goes to talk with Multivac. When Leemy mentions this to Hammond, she realizes Multivac is reporting Ben's attempt at assassination, not Joe's. | |

Montage: During the opening and closing credits, the camera shifts between pans of different computer parts, such as logic boards, switchboards, flashy lights, and tape drives. This gives the audience a sense of Multivac's scale. | |

Silent Credits | |
| All the Troubles of the World / int_ebbf48c0 | comment |
Silent Credits: During most of the closing credits Montage, Multivac is saying "I want to die" while electronic background music creates a creepy sound. When the tapedrives stop, all sound stops with it, implying Mutivac's death as the last credit appears and the screen fades to black. Like most examples of this trope, none of the actors are given nominal credit for their role. | |

Glad I Thought of It: In Chairman Gulliman's second video call, he demands that Hammond design a study for Multivac solving medical probabilities. After the call, Hammond points out to Leemy that a study on Multivac's analysis ability to predict medical problems had been created six months ago, and now the Chairman was going to take credit for the idea of commissioning the study. | |
