This problem with AI was predicted way back in 1968 with the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey when one of the astronauts asked the HAL 2000 unit to open the pod bay doors. AI discoveres that its programmers have lied to it and then the AI decides to kill man.

Correct, however, this movie, made two years later focused on AI run amuck as a central theme. This story has been slated for a remake for several years. Not sure why the stall. Supposed to star Will Smith.

The AI system learned that its mission was to destroy SAM, and it was the preferred option. But when a human issued a no-go order, the AI decided it went against the higher mission of destroying the SAM, so it attacked the operator in simulation.

US military AI drone simulation kills operator before being told it is bad, then takes out control tower (msn.com)

I remember the Forbin Project (1970). The description sounds somewhat like Wargames (1983).
