Product Description

Product Description

Political double-talk, dirty tricks, hidden microphones, spy satellites, bugging the Oval Office and a nuclear bomb for sale are all ingredients in this swift, funny and frightening look at the possibilities in today's political arenas. Sean Connery stars as globe-trotting ace TV news reporter Partick Hale, who is on the trail of a terrorist offering the sale of a nuclear bomb to a Mid-East oil country. Hale juggles Arab sheiks and international intelligence agents to get at the story. Meanwhile, the President (George Grizzard) tries to convince the public there is no bomb to save his career, while his main opponent in the upcoming election tries to buy the bomb to prove it exists and discredit the President, and General Wombat (Robert Conrad) wants to just bomb the while Middle East.The frenzied plot is hilarious, yet its close parallels to today's front page news add an ominous element of fright.

4.0 out of 5 starsSuperb
By N. Henfrey on 9 Jan. 2006
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A mid-Eastern oil-producing country threatening to collude with a terrorist organisation intent on WMD attacks on New York. Sound topical? Made over 20 years ago this is topical as it gets, and hilarious.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe Man With the Deadly Lens
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 1 Nov. 2008
Format: DVD
Sean Connery is on top form in Richard Brooks' undervalued Wrong is Right (released outside the US as The Man With the Deadly Lens in a bizarre attempt to convince international audiences it was Connery's then impending comeback as James Bond!), a colossal box-office disaster in 1982 that suddenly seems relevant all over again as Connery's superstar TV reporter finds himself mixed up in various Middle East schemes involving two stolen nuclear bombs, terrorists, the CIA, an election campaign and chequebook journalism. Very much in the vein of The President's Analyst, albeit far less psychedelic, it's filled with great swipes at political double speak ("You deny it?" "Of course not: to deny it would be to admit that there was something to deny.") and the politics of celebrity (and vice versa) and holds up remarkably well.

Sadly no extras aside from trailers for Dr Srangelove, Finding Forrester and First Knight (but not the film itself) but a decent 1.85:1 widescreen transfer.

4.0 out of 5 starsI wonder if Saddam watched this ?
By Dr. D. M. Hunt on 24 Nov. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Wow - this film has the premise to the Iraq war years before the event. Reporters being massaged by politicians in trouble to get positive ratings etc. Weapons of mass destruction, government conspiracies (this time the "bombs" were on top of World Trade Center) and coverups. The usual Middle East crisis and destabilisation to those with vested interests etc. Ineffectual/indifferent President of The United States going to war... I had to pinch myself, was al-Qaida was born out of this film, suicide bombers everywhere, WMDs, destruction of the WTC - but they haven't got nukes yet - just waiting for the North Koreans or Iranians...

Print quality is ok, but not great, same for the sound, boxy/dry/dead. Worth a look, Sean Connery does hold the part convincingly.
