Smash-Up on Interstate 5 (1976 TV Movie)
9/10
One ahead of it's time
7 December 2019
With every disaster flick made from every aspect (air, water, rail and mother nature) I think the one thing that never gets a chance is the road. Here a multi-car pileup on Southern California's interstate 5 holds the title for being the first and to date only movie of its kind. With a all-star cast of TV star's and legend's including a young Tommy Lee Jones.

This movie holds interest through well written storylines and believable plots. Though it does tend to be a bit soap opry at times it does move along. One strong point is we are introduced to the main cast and get a glimpse of their life. This is a good movie to really get into though and enjoy without all the CGI that overtakes movies these days. I'm just surprised that no other director or producer ever made any other movies on this type of disaster.
