It is an interesting film. It is beautiful to look at and I'm marveling at the desert location photography. Every actor on screen is at the height of their skill. Everyone is beautiful and this is a really exciting film and I recommend it.
However, how are we not talking about the fact that in the opening scene, Robert Conrad kills a kidnap victim that he is about to sexually violate? Seriously, these '70s movies do not flinch from brutality and horror and violence. Robert Conrad is such a guild actor, and it's really uncomfortable to watch. I really admire Lee Majors in Robert Conrad for the risks that they take in this film.
This isn't really a spoiler but I just wanted to call attention to that horrifying opening scene in a television movie that was broadcast into people's living rooms.
