Overdrawn at the Memory Bank is a 1983 made-for-television movie. It was produced by Canada's RSL Productions in Toronto. Financing was provided by WNET and New Jersey Public Television (NJPTV), which had hoped to create an entire science fiction series adapting famous works; but, because of lack of funding, this was the last of three productions after The Lathe of Heaven and Between Time and Timbuktu.The script was based on a 1976 John Varley short story.
