Wissenswertes
Filmed in 1971 but delayed for airing by ABC because that was the year of President Richard Nixon's trip to China and they didn't want to show the Chinese as villains.

Patzer
John Amos' character is listed in the credits as "Marine Corporal", and the reporter Damon, when surprised at how little security is at the desert military compound, refers to "one lousy corporal" guarding the gate. In fact the stripes on John Amos' uniform are clearly visible and show him to be a 3-stripe sergeant.

Zitate
Vice President Kermit Madigan: Lost it? How do you lose the President's airplane?

Quite the time capsule

This was probably a novel and a top tier 1973 TV movie. 50 years later it doesn't hold up. It just doesn't have the punch to keep up any suspense or momentum. The film just drags and drags. It seems longer than 90 minutes.

The film has a top notch catch of movie and TV veterans. There are so many most have little to do.

I think this film tries to be a Seven Days in May or political conspiracy film but it fails on that note. Unfortunately, it also fails on a cheap exploitative suspense level as well.

It is still worth watching just for it being such a time capsule of the early 1970s culture.
