| User ReviewRobert BUnbelievably powerful film shot as live, up-to-the-minute news broadcast about a terrorist threat to destroy Charleston, S.C. with a nuclear bomb. Tense, moving, devastating. Slightly dated but just as strong. |
| User Reviewking mA 1980's TV movie done as a newscast about terrorists threatening to blow up Charleston, SC with a nuke that is as much about the role the media plays in events as it is about the possibility of nuclear terrorism. The realistic setting keeps you watching, and the ending (which i won't spoil) is heart wrenching and terrifying at the same time. |
