Kim Delaney stars as Lt. Kate Timmons, a U.S. Navy officer whose traitorous ex-husband, Eli Dixon (David Keith), is imprisoned for selling secrets to the Russians. Escaping from Leavenworth, Dixon mounts an elaborate campaign of terror to get even with the United States in general and Kate (whose testimony helped put him away) in particular. Working hand in glove with the FBI, Kate desperately tries to prevent Dixon from using his extensive computer knowledge to wage full-scale war upon the country he has sold out. Highlight by an elaborate bank heist and innumerable capture-and-rescue sequences, Love and Treason was first telecast by CBS on March 7, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Frank Military and Susan Rhinehart scripted this western, a look back at the post-Civil War Black cavalry troops known as the Buffalo Soldiers, the fierce fighting unit previously covered in a PBS four-parter (1970) and an NBC pilot (1979). In the New Mexico Territory, ex-slave Sgt. Wyatt (Danny Glover) and the Buffalo soldiers arrest Captain Draper (Robert Knott) and other Texas Rangers, but politics mean the Rangers are quietly freed later. Back at Fort Craig, Wyatt reports to anti-black General Pike (Tom Bower) and Col. Grierson (Bob Gunton), a white responsible for assembling and supporting the black regiment. A search is underway for Indian chief Victorio (Harrison Lowe). Indian prophet Nana (Chesley Wilson) is tortured in an effort to get him to reveal Victorio's whereabouts. Determining that Victorio is at Rattlesnake Springs, the Buffalo Soldiers head in that direction for a confrontation. Filmed in the desert of Arizona's Cochise County, Buffalo Soldiers premiered December 7, 1997 on TNT. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
