That sounds alot like Colossus: The Forbin Project. A scientist builds a super computer that becomes self aware, takes over the nukes and holds mankind hostage. A really, really good movie - and it was made in the 60's too so it has lots of that retro computer hardware that I like.

Never heard of Takedown... I will have to look for that. Saw Antitrust a couple of times. I thought it was good but it was more of a corporate / business movie, and less of a computer-ee movie.
