Directed by: John Frankenheimer
Starring: Bruce Dern, Robert Shaw, Fritz Weaver, Marthe Keller
Major David Kabakov: What is this thing you Americans call the Super Bowl?
Robert Moshevsky: My mother once said "Anyone who has a nervous breakdown has got to have something wrong with them."
Captain Michael J. Lander: I wanted to give this whole son-of-a-bitchin' country something to remember me by.
Major David Kabakov: Mr. Corley, what exactly is this Super Bowl?
Joseph Robbie: Cancel the Super Bowl? That's like canceling Christmas.
Factual error: After loading the bomb, Dern and Keller hijack the blimp. As Shaw watches the blimp heading for the stadium, he spots a helicopter across the field, moving bundles of pipe. Shaw and Weaver commandeer the chopper to chase down the blimp. A major part of the security plan for the Superbowl, was that the only aircraft "trusted" to be allowed to fly within a 100 miles of the stadium are the Goodyear blimp and the Police helicopter. The other helicopter would not have been allowed to fly that day.
Trivia: This was the first film role for the young actress Kristy McNichol. Unfortunately, all her scenes were cut.
