Dated somewhat but this 1977 release that runs 143 minutes is still relevant in the continuing turmoil in the middle east.A great A+ cast and a pretty good pace makes the film watchable despite the dated surrounding of the the films background.I especially like the disgruntled homegrown terrorist played by Bruce Dern and the female handler played by Marthe Keller and Robert Shaw as the Israeli agent trying to stop a attack in the US at ,wait for it,THE SUPER BOWL.Worth a view,Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.
Terrorist organization Black September is planning an attack on the United States. A woman called Dahlia is the one overseeing the operation. She was in the Middle East with the other members of the organization, discussing the operation when some Israelis came in; the leader, Major Kobakov had his gun on her but didn't shoot her. Kobakov then informed the US what they found. Though they don't know what their operation is, Kobakov assures them that it will be devastating. So, with FBI man, Corley, they try to find out what it is before it's too late. But they both have different ways of doing things, and since Kobakov is the visitor, he is warned to watch it. Dahlia's "partner in crime" is Michael Lander, a Vietnam P.O.W., who is psychologically scarred by that experience, thus making him very susceptible to her machinations.
