UNDER SIEGE. 2/9/86 Terrorists strike Americans at home in this chilling 1986 TV-movie, headlined by a strong cast and co-written by Bob Woodward (All the President's Men) The first strike hits an Army base outside Washington, D.C., where an unidentified suicide squad detonates a truckload of explosives. This act alerts FBI director John Garry (Peter Strauss) to a plot that later erupts in midair explosions of aircraft across the U.S. While the FBI probe points to independent subversives, some Administration figures blame Iran and urge the President (Hal Holbrook) to retaliate. Others, however, urge caution. Filmed in Little Rock, Ark., where the state capitol building substitutes for the Nation's Capitol in a startling sequence.

Edison, quintessential entrepreneurs who popularized the view that "there's no substitute for hard work" and "no such thing as no chance." Yet for millions of their fellow citizens who found themselves on bread lines in the 1930s, those maxims were suddenly meaningless. In their place, according to this film, arose a whole new set of ideals, conveyed—and reinforced—by newsreels and other media. FDR's "fireside chats" on radio and flag-waving musicals like "Stand Up and Cheer" (1934) fostered a sense of national unity. Walker Evans' photographs and "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940) idealized the poor. And the Futurama exhibit at the 1939 World's Fair envisioned a utopian America. FRONT LINE: Vietnam & Cambodia.
