COSMOS: War of the Planets (1977)
An insubordinate space captain visits an apparently deserted but unstable planet after being drawn their by a mysterious gravitational force. He and his expedition discover the remnants of the once dominant civilization living on a subsistence level in caves. Long ago their advanced civilization had become so complacent and mechanized that they built a super-computer to run and maintain the machines that supported their indolent, self-indulgent lifestyle.
After the machines they completely relied on were destroyed by a meteor shower, the now helpless inhabitants found themselves without the knowledge to rebuild them and totally subservient on the computer whose megalomania was now unchallenged. The cruel cyber-despot reveals that it arranged for ship’s landing because it needs the skills of the Earthlings to make critical repairs in its damaged circuitry and announces future plans for the conquest of the Universe
