Looks cool

 

Can anyone identify this movie I watched a while ago? It's from the '70's and is well known or at least has some stars from the era. It is about a company involved in a financial crisis. The employees are corrupt and the movie ends with a world+wide economic collapse. The end is a montage of riots and utter chaos around the world.

 

Can anyone identify this movie I saw only the beginning of once on TV 15 or 20 years ago? I was on my way out the door from visiting parents, but it's been stuck in my mind ever since. Might have been a B-movie in theaters, or maybe a TV movie.

Anyway ...

Opening scene: A businessman-type boards a crowded flight and takes his seat. Might have a briefcase in his lap, can't recall. The jet rolls down the runway and takes off, only to explode in midair a few seconds later, much like the doomed Concorde flight.

Scene 2: An army transport truck or supply truck rolls into a military compound, and once a bunch of soldiers see a beautiful, dark-haired woman (in uniform) behind the wheel, they all clamor around the truck. She smiles at them through the closed windows for a few seconds, then hits a switch and blows the truck up.

Obviously some kind of terrorism movie, and maybe not even a good one. But those first few minutes were intense.

 

Maybe …

That's it. Thanks.

 

Another Part 1. I really hate that shit. Happily, I probably won't bother until that one is streaming somewhere, but they are doing the same damn thing with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which I am seeing with my daughter on opening night.

 

I wouldn’t say Schwarzenegger sucks now, but this will be Death Wish-level bad:

Really not sure how to feel about this, I like Ferrell, David O. Russell and Madden, of course - but what a weird mix. Right? Something like Silver Linings Playbook? It WOULD be interesting if it got into his relationship with Al Davis - something that really hasn't been examined.

 

Film record of the play based on the documentary....William F. Buckley v. Gore Vidal
