A quiet man with a deep understanding of explosives, rollercoasters and electronics -- and possibly a traumatic history in the Vietnam War -- targets the patrons of an amusement park for his million-dollar extortion scheme. He informs federal agents and the owners of the park that he has planted a bomb and he demands $1,000,000. When they call his bluff, he detonates a device on a popular rollercoaster that sends cars and riders hurtling off the tracks. The authorities then call on the one man who can outsmart the bomber... and prevent any other losses. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

A more than honest thriller with a dash of the disaster genre. It all begins with a superb roller-coaster crash scene, continues with a relentless search driven forward by a duel between the admirably sympathetic George Segal and the dangerously "ordinary" psychopath Timothy Bottoms, and ends with a gripping, literally breathtaking finale. I have a great fondness for these types of films... Rollercoaster is almost comparable to, say, Black Sunday, one of the best representatives of the genre.
