By Dawn's Early Light (1990)
[965MB avi] (1hr 40min 42sec)
An excellent film, based on the novel Trinity's Child by William Prochnau, starring Powers Boothe and Rebecca DeMornay, By Dawn's Early Light is
an excellent cautionary tale of what would happen if a nuclear exchange were started by dissidents in another country's military and
how the members of two different governments would work together to stop it.
It is also the tale of Captain Moreau (DeMornay) and Cassidy (Boothe), two B-52 pilots assigned to knock out the leadership bunkers of
the Russian military, and their struggle to do what they believe is the right thing.
At first they feel themselves bound by duty to their country, but as they begin to grasp the full scope of just what it is they're doing, each
of them must struggle with their own doubts and fears about what would happen if the conflict they're involved in were to escalate into an all-out war.
Boothe and DeMornay are just two of a very great cast in this film. Martin Landau turned in a bravura performance as the President of the United
States, who is disabled in the aftermath of a nuclear strike on Washington and who alone holds the key to stopping the conflict.
Darren McGavin as the trigger-happy Secretary of the Interior who, thinking the President is dead, issues orders that could lead to the destruction of his country.
James Earl Jones was great as "Alice", commander of Strategic Air Command's "Looking Glass" plane and a man with moral and ethical doubts of his own about
this conflict, and Ally McBeal's Peter MacNicol as Sedgwick, the young Emergency War Orders officer who is with the President when he is injured, was just terrific.
As stated before, this is a superb film, but it's definitely not for the faint-hearted. It probes deeply into the American psyche and forces us all to think of just what we would do in a situation such as the one presented. Overall, though, it is an excellent film.
