Although the small town of Rutland, VT, lives contentedly in the shadow of the huge, newly constructed Rankin Dam, there are those who realize that the dam was built "below code" and with inferior materials for the purpose of saving a few bucks. City Counsel President Natalie Powell (Michele Greene) soon has reason to regret the short-cuts taken with the project when the town is threatened by a raging flood. Even worse: Natalie's architect husband David (Joe Lando) and son Garth (Matthew Eward) are trapped inside the dam. Made for television, Killer Flood: The Day the Dam Broke debuted over the PAX network April 25, 2003, the same day that the filmed was screened at a benefit premiere in the real-life Rutland, VT. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Nashville hunk Billy Ray Cyrus turns action hero in this high-impact adventure. Jack Reynolds (Cyrus) is a drifter with a motorcycle, lots of tattoos, and a good right hook who gets a job tending bar in a small Southern town. A powerful and ruthless illegal arms dealer has much of the town in a stranglehold, and when Jack draws the attentions of Kate (DeDee Pfeiffer), the woman the dealer loves, Jack finds himself doing battle with the dealer's henchmen. But what no one in town knows is that Jack is a former CIA operative whose wife and children were killed years ago while he was trying to put the dealer behind bars -- and Jack is not the sort of man who is willing to forgive and forget. Radical Jack also stars George "Buck" Flower, Cassie Branham, and Noah Blake. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A pair of deadly super-storms is set to collide over a Rutland, MO, and the only hope for the people of the small town is the trust a father places in his son in this elemental thriller that's sure to make Twister look like a dust devil. No one believes 14-year-old amateur meteorologist Eric Dobbs (Jesse Eisenberg) when he tries to convince them that their town is set to be leveled by the colliding storm systems, not even the National Weather Service. With time running short and winds picking up, Eric's father, Tom (John Schneider), takes his son's warning to heart when a series of supercharged electrical bursts plunge the town into darkness. As the sky darkens and the storm clouds roll in, it's up to Eric and his father to save the citizens of Rutland it's too late. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A woman finds her life is at stake when she learns the truth about her late husband in this action thriller. Susan Fredericks (Libby Hudson) is dealing with the death of her husband Alan, a successful lawyer, when she makes a startling discovery -- Alan was representing Richard Corliss (Miles O'Keeffe), a powerful and ruthless organized crime leader. While Alan was walking on the wrong side of the law, his conscience began to get the better of him, and he decided to go to the police with what he knew about Corliss and his business; Corliss' enforcers killed him before he could talk, but not before he made up a computer disc that duplicated the financial records for all of Corliss' illegal businesses. When Susan finds the disc, she becomes the next target for Corliss and his men, so police detective Zoe Crowe (Sue Ball) is assigned to protect Susan by the city's district attorney (Linnea Quigley), who is determined that Susan will testify in court about what her husband knew. But Crowe isn't aware that one of her partners on the force, O'Malley (Burt Ward), is a gambler deep in debt to Corliss' loan sharks, and that O'Malley isn't above doing a hit against Susan in order to clear his account. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
