Product: Special Bulletin (TV-Movie) [VHS] (1983)
Rating: 5.0
Chilling, and a dead-on look at TV news
The whole nuclear-thriller aspect of this film is fairly suspenseful, but "Special Bulletin" succeeds most as an accurate depiction of network news. (Within a few hours, the nuclear hostage situation has its own theme song and computer graphics.)Well-acted -- and shot on video for further verisimilitude -- this gem is one of the great made-for-TV movies of all time.
