1970s disaster thriller starring Charlton Heston and John Cassavetes. A psychopath armed with a hunting rifle goes on a sniping spree. When the sniper's two-minute warning shots ring out at a crowded football stadium, panic erupts among the 91,000 sports fans present. Heston plays the police captain on the killer's trail, while Cassavetes leads the SWAT team.

Although Nick (Peter Falk) and Mabel Longhetti (Gena Rowlands) still love each other, a failure to communicate leads to the deterioration of their marriage when the latter suffers a nervous breakdown. The film won two Academy Award nominations for the real life husband and wife team of John Cassavetes (Director) and Gena Rowlands (Actress).
