Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was originally a two-part Hallmark Channel miniseries, explaining the 170-minute runtime and commercial-break cliffhangers.
Released during the brief era when 'Superman' Dean Cain pivoted to military thrillers—part of a larger 2000s trend of aging '90s heroes finding second lives in cable action.
