Imagine a future in which the sport of boxing has gone
high-tech. Human boxers have been replaced by massive humanoid
robots. And former champions of flesh-and-blood are obsolete . . .
.
Richard Matheson's classic short story is now the basis for" Real
Steel," a gritty, white-knuckle film starring Hugh Jackman. But
"Steel," which was previously filmed as a powerful episode of the
original "Twilight Zone" television series, is just one of over a
dozen unforgettable tales in this outstanding collection, which
includes two new stories that have never appeared in any previous
Matheson collection. Also featured is a bizarre satirical fantasy,
"The Splendid Source," that was turned into an episode of "The
Family Guy.
"Richard Matheson was recently inducted into the Science Fiction
Hall of Fame. "Steel" demonstrates once again the full range of his
legendary imagination.
