Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Michael Chapman was primarily a legendary cinematographer (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull) who only directed two features—this and All the Right Moves.
This aired as an NBC Movie of the Week during the network's desperate 1986 bid to clone The Terminator's success with TV-budget resources.
