Medusa's Child Rogers Henry, former head of the Defense Department's Medusa Project at Los Alamos, cons his estranged wife Vivian into transporting a "prototype" bomb to the Pentagon. Vivian accompanies the "prototype" bomb onto a Boeing 737 cargo flight, and once the jet is in the air, the count-down sequence is accidentally initiated. The crew discovers it is no prototype, but a working Medusa weapon capable of sending out an electro-magnetic pulse that would disrupt electronic communication across the continent. They also learn Rogers has synchronized the detonator with the frequency of Vivian's pacemaker, so that if she walks out of range the bomb will immediately go off.

Alcatraz The Whole Shocking Story Filmed on location at Alcatraz Island, this two-part "whole story" actually concentrates on a handful of the denizens behind the cold grey walls of "The Rock". Michael Beck plays the real-life Clarence Carnes, an Oklahoma Choctaw Indian said to be the youngest man ever incarcerated in the notorious maximum security prison. Serving a 99-year sentence for a gas station holdup and murder, Carnes makes periodic attempts to escape, the final attempt being the most violent. Many of the subordinate characters are fictional (as are most of the details concerning Carnes' escape efforts); the one exception is Robert Stroud, the "Birdman of Alcatraz", here portrayed by Art Carney as a gentle, kindly philosopher. Telly Savalas, a costar of the Burt Lancaster vehicle Birdman of Alcatraz, also guest starred in the 1980 film.

Washington: Behind Closed Doors This 12-hour TV miniseries (expanded from a 2-hour concept) was based on the political "roman a clef" The Company, by Watergate coconspirator John Erlichman. It was originally titled simply Washington; the Behind Closed Doors part was added to avoid a potential lawsuit from Gore Vidal, author of Washington DC. This thinly disguised recap of the Watergate affair stars Jason Robards as paranoid president Richard M. Monckton, who "buys" his election by making a covert deal with the FBI. Once he's sold his soul, Monckton leaves his administration wide open for corruption. Also appearing in this ham-handed affair are Cliff Robertson as the CIA director, Robert Vaughn as the Machiavellian chief of staff, Andy Griffith as the Southern-born former president, Lois Nettelton as Monckton's mistress, and Stefanie Powers as a domestic spy.
