| Abstract | This made-for-television film about nuclear weapons, hostage demands, and the media's coverage of it reflected Cold War tensions in the early 1980s. Its visual style and heightened realism prompted some viewers to believe they were watching a real-life event. Terrorists demand the destruction of all nuclear trigger devices in Charleston Harbor to disarm the United States and convince the Soviets to do the same. A television news crew, which had been covering a workers' strike, broadcasts their demands. |
