Black Sunday (1977) Remember that movie?

[Eye See You]

Plot Summary for
Black Sunday (1977)
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.

Summary written by {[e-mail]}

A demented war veteran (Bruce Dern) plots to kill thousands of
Americans at the Superbowl in Miami by using a specially designed
dart-gun from the Goodyear blimp which flies above the stadium.
However, a tough Middle Eastern anti-terrorist agent (Robert Shaw) has
uncovered some of the plot and is out to stop him.

Have a great Superbowl Sunday!

4. Bruce Dern

Bruce is cool. His daughter is great.

But this movie is mostly hot air. He's best in "Silent Running" IMHO.

Joan Baez sings the title song. Is that moss-encrusted hippiedom or what?

5. 30,000 auto layoffs and they hold the Super Bowel in Detroit?

What a nice gesture for millionaires to offer to rub elbows with the newly unemployed.
That is an even worse disaster story.
