A TV movie from 1997 based on one of the US' most shocking act of terrorism to that date - the World Trade Centre bombing (now sadly superceded) by the events of 11 September 2001). The title refers to the concept that America is the Great Satan, thus the act of terrorism is salvation for the extremists who planted the bomb. Accuracy is occasionally, inevitably, set aside, but there are enough revelations in the action - the informant who refused to give more information because the FBI would not pay him the weekly $500 - and insights, some already well documented, on the general incompetence on the part of the law and the terrorists. Art Malik plays the bomber, Yousef; Peter Gallagher, Marcia Gay and Paul Guilfoyle are the mystified FBI agents. Better than average account of real events.
