This film starts out quite well. There is a strong cast, & an interesting story to work with. However, it goes downhill from the first moments Christopher Plummer & David Patrick Kelly appear. I blame the director. It is so woefully predictable, I guessed the entire plot within 15 minutes. Sure enough, it played out exactly as I thought it would. The FX are mediocre to poor. You have 2 actors with the gravitas of Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow, plus Dennis Quaid when he was only 29 years old. Also, strong suppor from David Kelly & Kate Capshaw (Steven Spielberg's wife; they have 5 kids together), there is no excuse for the pablum this film turned into. I saw it at the theater when it was released. I thought it was bad then and worse now (in 2019); 35 years later. What a joke.
