Superdome is a 1978 made for TV drama movie. It premiered on ABC as part of The ABC Monday Night Movie series and was used to promote Super Bowl XII. The film featured an impressive cast of stars but was ridiculed for its confusing and sensational plotlines, as well as for containing no football scenes.[1]
Plot
At the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, both team's star quarterbacks are preoccupied. Wolecki is having marital difficulties, while McCauley is involved in a shady deal with a management firm. Meanwhile, a national gambling syndicate attempts to find a way to stop the heavily favored Cougars from winning the game. All these plots are connected by a police chase of a killer who has attempted to evade law enforcement by ducking into the crowd.
Mystery Science Theater 3000
