For those of us who grew up in the 70's and remember the ABC "Movie of the week," this flick brings back lots of memories. It features a good cast led by George Kennedy and a relative unknown at the time, Jan-Michael Vincent, as well as several other solid character actors of that time.
The story is fairly simple: A group of backcountry campers come across a skyjacker that just parachuted into their neck of the woods with a boatload of cash. They kill him and then struggle with each other and the elements as their greed starts to take over.
This is a well paced movie and covers quite a lot of ground in only 75 minutes. It's fun to see external frame backpacks and transistor radios. It is one of the few made for TV movies of that era that have been released on DVD. It's definitely worth a look.
