The title makes sense, the plot has its use, the cast chosen for the movie is really great. Though this was not a big screen hopeful, it was perfect for the TV. "Time Bomb" is a very fair movie to see, and the characters there are amazing. Morgan Fairchild plays Renee De Salles; a beautiful, but deadly villain. Billy Dee Williams plays Wes Tanner, Merlin Olsen plays Jake Calahan, and Joseph Bottoms plays Dan. They get to ride in a armored white GMC Aero Astro, that carries plutonium. They go across the US until they get hijacked by DeSalles and her crew. She kills Calahan, and they disable the truck. Once they fix it up, it would go like it was the Knight Industries 2000(K.I.T.T.) only heavier. Wes and Dan go out and take out the hijackers one-by-one until Wes gets his revenge on DeSalles, on the plane. Everyone comes back, only with a price. Wes is the only one who has to break the sad news, although his wife found out herself he was dead. Dan was wounded, and Wes had to console two women, which was honorable. The movie was fine, the truck is what I really liked! 3 out of 5 stars!

I thought this movie was awesome. I would love to own this movie and cannot seem to find it. Billy Dee Williams and Merlin Olson both played outstanding roles in this film. Morgan Fairchild could have done a better job of acting in this film, however, the plot and the emotions that came with this movie was outstanding!!It is a movie that makes you feel love, hate, sadness, and victorious all at the same time. Terrorism is a serious problem we all face, especially after 9/11, and to see goodness win over terrorism in this film and the good guys able to get their man --- or as is the case in this film - their woman, leaves you with a very good feeling.

I saw this movie as a kid, and the most awe-inspiring thing is the incredible soundtrack by Sylvester Levay (creator of the Airwolf TV series music). It was so good, in fact, that I recorded it on cassette tape, a tape I still have to this day. Electronic music virtuoso Sylvester Levay virtually all but disappeared from the TV music theme after his great success with the popular musical Elisabeth. I hope that he will return one day to his roots as a TV musician. However, the movie itself, as I remember, was forgettable, the only thing I remember is that it was a truck out of control (kind of a predecessor to Speed) Billy Dee Williams was fairly good as the lead.

She only gets about ten minutes of screen time and other than a few seconds at the start of the movie she is wrapped up in a winter coat, flannel shirt or jacket. Many of her appearances are just head shots of her sitting in a truck (big deal). I honesty believe that the producers lured Morgan into this overcooked turkey and I don't like to say it, but I think she may have taken it just to make a fast buck. I am a Morgan Fairchild fan and I was very disappointed.
