In the tense political landscape of the 1970s, a group of disillusioned college students, led by the passionate and volatile Michael Margotta, find their radical ideals hardening into a dangerous plan. As their discussions evolve from protest to conspiracy, they are joined by a disparate collection of characters including the thoughtful Bud Cort and the increasingly committed Kim Darby. Their professor, played by Bruce Davison, watches with growing alarm as their academic rebellion threatens to spill into real-world violence. Directed by Stuart Hagmann, this gripping action-thriller plunges into the heart of a radical cell, exploring the fine line between idealism and extremism. The film masterfully builds a claustrophobic atmosphere of paranoia and urgency as the students' scheme gains momentum, forcing each member to confront the devastating consequences of their actions. With a standout ensemble cast that includes Bob Balaban and Jeannie Berlin, the narrative tightens like a vice, questioning how far one should go to change the state of the nation.
