This made for TV movie aired on October 28, 1979 and follows in the vein of the disaster movies of the 1970s. It’s got a cast loaded with your seventies favorites including William Shatner, Lloyd Bridges, Raymond Burr, E.G. Marshall, Pat Hingle, Yvette Mimieux, and Paul L. Smith. The film starts out slow but picks up momentum with some pretty exciting scenes with helicopters and the train in the second half of the movie. If you’re a William Shatner fan, this is a must as there are plenty of scenes of him hamming it up. I definitely consider this one of the better of the made for TV disaster movies.
