A nightmare of fear and panic unfolds in this chilling tale of a lone gunman who sets his sights on a sell-out crowd at a championship football game. Charlton Heston is the police captain who leads the desperate fight to stop the madman - high atop the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum - before he sets off widespread devastation in the jam-packed stadium. John Cassavetes and Martin Balsam are among those risking their lives to thwart the sniper's attempts, while innocent spectators Gena Rowlands, Jack Klugman, Beau Bridges, Walter Pidgeon, David Janssen and thousands of others try to hide from the fatal gun sites and avoid the deadly ensuing stampede.

...quite watchable in a distasteful way; you won’t make a film like this now, not least because the characters are so stock they feel like ducks in a shooting gallery....

David Sterritt

Larry Peerce's technical skill and all these stars unfortunately don't add any sense to the script which leads from ominous to disasters with little intelligence along the way.

Ruth Batchelor

The cast of excellent actors is completely wasted.

Edward Hume wrote the screenplay from a novel by George LaFountaine. Whether it's their contribution or [director Larry] Peerce's, I do not know, but this is a movie that hates people.

I thought perhaps the movie would at least include a little pop sociology to soften its blood-letting. Not a chance. It's a cheerfully unashamed exploitation of two of our great national preoccupations, pro football and guns.
