| User ReviewNolan PEarly made-for-TV entry in the huge 70's disaster-film genre, pre-dating "The Poseidon Adventure" by almost two months; a moving and gritty account of a small group of subway passengers' struggle to survive after being buried in a New York subway car after an earthquake. Starring a good cast of mostly television personnel, & featuring tight scripting, intelligent, realistic acting, & involving, authentic characters, the film also addresses a lot of very relevant socio-economic issues of the time in a direct and perceptive fashion. James Brolin is quite good as a cynical cop, and the unusual casting of Jazz-chanteuse Abbey Lincoln as one of the heartier of the survivors pays off as she delivers a particularly memorable performance. |
| User ReviewCleo Pone of the best tv movies I have ever seen. |
| User ReviewVictor CWhen I saw this on TV I loved it. It was tense and dramatic and there were quite a few interesting sub-plots that made it very enjoyable. I want this on DVD! |
