Question: Movie made to look like a newscast about a nuclear device on a tugboat!?
I think this came out before "The Day After" or around the same time!. I am thinking '83-84 because I was in 7th grade!. It may not be a tugboat, but I am pretty sure it is a boat!. Terrorists promised to detonate!. I seem to remember it had commercials that were inturrupted with "Special Reports" but there was a disclaimer that you were watching a movie!. It was a United States film!. I think the device did explode!. It was not The Day After!. You may have even been assigned to watch it as homework!. Many households in my region did not have cable TV available at the time, so the school librarian recorded it for kids to watch it in study hall!. Does the ring a bell with anybody!?!?!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
"Special Bulletin was an American made-for-TV movie first broadcast in 1983!. It was an early collaboration between director Edward Zwick and writer Marshall Herskovitz, a team that would later produce such series as thirtysomething and My So-Called Life!. In this movie, a terrorist group brings a homemade atomic bomb aboard a tugboat in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina in order to blackmail the U!.S!. Government into disabling its nuclear weapons, and the incident is caught live on television!. The movie, shot on video rather than film, simulates a series of live news broadcasts on the fictional RBS Network!."
No DVD release of it as yet!. Thats a pity!. It was well done!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Sure, as they have to give 'x' amount of disclaimers on it, lest people think it was anoter "War of the Worlds"
