I’ve seen it once. Current events have me looking at clips. What a fantastic supporting cast.

John Saxon, Dean Stockwell, Robert Conrad (yup), GD Spradlin

[Wrong is right](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084920/) 1982

> [@](#):

> A satire of American news reporting, Covert Agencies, and political system. The theft of two suitcase sized nuclear weapons, and their sale to a terrorist group, leads TV Newsman Patrick Hale on an international chase to track them down, and uncover the twisting maze of apparent involvement of US Government agencies.

I remember that movie! I too saw it just once, but it left an impact.
