Two Minute Warning is a 1976 thriller/disaster film directed by Larry Peerce and starring an ensemble cast including Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Martin Balsam, and Beau Bridges. The plot follows a mysterious gunman who appears at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum during Championship X (a thinly-disguised reference to Superbowl X) and the efforts of the police and staff to stop him before he can cause mass panic.

Remington 742
