A reporter who happens to be at the scene of a car crash in which a prominent senator is badly injured smells something fishy when the senator's office denies his involvement and insists he's away on a fishing holiday. A reasonably diverting, but ultimately forgettable, SF conspiracy thriller that has the low-cost look and feel of a TV movie. Leslie Nielsen plays it straight as the inquisitive reporter and does a pretty good job, while Bradford Dillman does his best Charlton Heston impersonation as the senator who woos doctor Angie Dickinson from his bed. The moral and ethical aspects that the film explores are fairly interesting, but it's about 15 minutes too long.
