The Fury

This movie has about as ham-handed a finale as was possible - which disappointed since it started reasonable well. Like other reviewer, interesting idea for the time. Released in 1978, IMBD says, late cold war, Russia was experimenting with psychic and other extra-sensory perceptions of reality with goal of weaponizing - as I recall. IMHO just sloppily written. Too much intrigue for the story by far. Douglas was asked to carry the movie, looks like, and he tries but has to try too hard because of the material. He's a thoroughbred in the herd -way too much energy with no place for it to go. Really interesting to see now-famous folks in bit and background roles though. Interesting but a vignette, really, of any idea of ESP warfare.

I first saw this in my early teens. Pretty spectacular story for back then. Interesting story line. A bit tame compared to current films, but still worth the money.
