Easily the worst made-for-TV movie of all time.
This film is made to look like an actual event told in real-time via news coverage from a television network, ala "The War of The Worlds" for TV. The only problem is, it is completely unrealistic. Factual errors coupled with awful acting made me turn it off after only a half-hour.
The kicker is the fact that this film was showered with accolades and awards. I am truly amazed with it all.
The goofiest thing to come out of this was when this show was first broadcast at the bottom of the screen the words "a dramatization" flashed at the bottom of the screen in ten minute intervals. Despite this, and the aforementioned acting, people still called their TV stations to ask if this was true.
Groan.
