Product: Special Bulletin (TV-Movie) [VHS] (1983)
Rating: 4.0
Nuclear Nightmare TV style
"Special Bulletin" was a three decade old TV movie depicting the use of a nuclear bomb by a group of scientists to extort authorities. The scientists' motives are ostensibly peaceful, but things go horribly wrong as their "best laid plans" go horribly "agly."Told from the point of view of a TV news bulletin covering a real live event, we see the events being depicted as though we're watching a real event being covered by CNN or Fox News on our home TV sets -- with technical glitches thrown in for authenticity's sake.Dated, but still entertaining today. The flavor of terrorism has certainly changed ---- but the horrid potential it represents has only worsened since.
