Black Sunday
Reader comment on item: "24" and Hollywood's Discovery of Radical Islam
Submitted by Joe Macey (United States), Jan 10, 2005 at 10:19
There was a movie several years ago that I believe did depict Muslim or Arab terrorist. The title was Black Sunday. It also involved an American blimp pilot who had designed a boat shaped object of plastic explosive studded with nails. The idea was to take the blimp to the Super Bowl and blow up the plastic.
