| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Two-Minute Warning |
|---|
At a championship football game in Los Angles, a sniper takes position. His rifle is aimed at 91,000 people in the stadium. His intentions and identity are unknown.
When the Goodyear blimp cameras breakdown and accidently spot the sniper, stadium chief Sam McKeever (Martin Balsam) calls in LA Police Capt. Peter Holly (Charlton Heston) and SWAT Chief Button (John Cassavetes). As the SWAT team watches and waits, the game's end draws closer and closer and every second the stadium could become the site of a massacre.
