Jack B. Sowards created perhaps one of the most interesting parts of Star Trek: the Kobayashi Maru, a no-win scenario for new Starfleet captains that was first brought up in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. He also wrote this TV movie which was directed by James Gladstone, whose tie to Star Trek is directing the classic episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before." He also was behind the films Rollercoaster and When Time Ran Out...
Dennis Ryder (John Forsythe, who is astounding in this movie) is driving to San Francisco for a job interview when he hits a man who no one will admit is dead. No one - the sheriff (Earl Holliman from Police Woman), Ralph Meeker from The Alpha Incident, the town doctor (Noman Alden, Kansas City Bomber) and certainly not Anne Francis.
Jason Wingreen, who is in this, was also the voice of Boba Fett.
Seriously, this entire town is against Ryder. It's a taunt 74 minutes and gets more out of that time than three movies today. I've heard people say it has a David Lynch vibe, which I can see. It's intriguing when a man knows that he's killed somebody and begs the police to charge him.
