IMDb review:
It's been many years since I saw this, but I do recall enough details to know this was not based loosely on the Patty Hearst case, as has been stated, but on Dwight, Illinois' Diana Oughton, who got involved with the Weathermen and was one of three "urban commandos" killed when a bomb they were working on went off in their NYC townhouse in May 1970!. Diana was the daughter of an important land-owning family and was brought up in the "lap of luxury", such as it can be in rural Illinois!. She became socially conscious while teaching school in Guatemala, circa 1962, then joined the SDS and its Weathermen offshoot in the late Sixties!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
