Bu film haqqında

It happens with startling swiftness and violence. An armed cadre seizes state control. Fortunately, a coup d'etat can't happen here. Or can it? A classic of suspense directed by John Frankenheimer, Seven Days in May tautly explores that possibility. At odds are a popular general and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman and an unpopular President with a pacifist agenda. At stake is the survival of the Republic. A vigilant colonel uncovers the scheme. But are the seven fateful days ahead enough time to derail a takeover? The clock is ticking.

A riveting movie with expressive dialogue and every scene essential. And its topic is relevant a half century later now in 2020: Russia has just attacked the U.S.A. on our own soil by infiltrating our federal government computer systems, in 2016 through cyberattacks installed a treasonous U.S. President who tired to stay in power after losing the 2020 democratic election by strong-arming legislatures and the courts, and the U.S. is wrestling with an Iran nuclear treaty with hawks demanding military action and doves beseeching negotiations. Wow.

Still possible here today, as a civil war is boiling between the left and right wings in today's news!

Real good movie one of the best I have ever seen.
