I really dug this at 14. In the wake of Watergate I found the concept plausible (rogue gov't fakes event to promote agenda), still do, since it still happens. Hadn't heard the "faked moon landing" BS...

I don't know, but Hal Holbrook, Elliott Gould, James Brolin, Brenda Vacaro, Sam Waterson, Karen Black, and Telly Savalas strikes me as a pretty darn good cast.

It's pretty awful, but it's interesting that this features both a former and a future Mrs. Barbra Streisand in the cast. Which would you prefer: locked in holy matrimony with Barbra Streisand or...
