Directed by: John Frankenheimer
Starring: Bruce Dern, Robert Shaw, Fritz Weaver, Marthe Keller
Major David Kabakov: What is this thing you Americans call the Super Bowl?
Robert Moshevsky: My mother once said "Anyone who has a nervous breakdown has got to have something wrong with them."
Captain Michael J. Lander: I wanted to give this whole son-of-a-bitchin' country something to remember me by.
Major David Kabakov: Mr. Corley, what exactly is this Super Bowl?
Joseph Robbie: Cancel the Super Bowl? That's like canceling Christmas.
Continuity mistake: Near the end, while Kabakov is atop the blimp, he finally attaches the cable hook to the blimp. Just as he wraps the canvas strap around the hook, Kabakov's white shirt is neatly tucked into his pants, whereas in the previous and following shots, his white shirt is fluttering in the wind and we can see his abdomen and back.

Trivia: Director John Frankenheimer has a cameo as the television director in the Coliseum control room.
