I was in Minot, had participated in the Yom Kippur nuclear alert the year before, and was still on edge over it (haven't truly recovered to this day, 41 years later). What I remember of the flick was how incredibly well Devane and Sheen evoked memories of John and Bobby.

Bookmarked to watch at a later time.
