Red Alert (1977)

Paramount Pictures
Directed by William Hale
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Paramount)

This TV movie has a saboteur planting bombs in a nuclear power plant. William Devane is a local detective in charge of finding them. Ralph Waite is a military type commander at a remote Colorado location who doesn't know when to ignore what his computer is telling him and deviate from the book. It's essentially a rehash of HAL from 2001, a computer run amok with the poor humans trying to stop it. Adrienne Barbeau is a distressed housewife. It's not bad for a TV movie.
