Black Sunday

Robert Shaw stars as Major Kabakov, an Israeli agent attempting to avert a terrorist atrocity on US soil. The weapon: a blimp laced with explosives and piloted by Michael Lander (Bruce Dern), a troubled Vietnam vet driven to strike back against the nation he believes has betrayed him. The target: the Orange Bowl stadium, Miami. What follows is a nail-biting race against time culminating in a spectacular aerial climax that will determine the fate of 80,000 spectators. Adapted from the best-selling debut novel by Thomas Harris and featuring virtuoso performances by a cast headlined by Dern, Shaw and Marthe Keller, Black Sunday is a nerve-shredding, best-in-class suspense thriller from a filmmaker at the top of his game.
