Hurricane Summary
Director: Jerry Jameson
Genres: Action
Rating:
The made-for-TV Hurricane was based on William_C._Anderson's novel +Hurricane Hunters, which, in turn, was inspired by events surrounding Hurricane Camille in 1969. The scene is Cassler, MS, where a pair of hurricane chasers, patrol-plane pilot Major Stoddard (Martin_Milner) and seafarer Paul Damon (Larry_Hagman) do their best to rescue the citizens of the community from a devastating storm. Other key characters include: feminist TV weatherperson Lee Jackson (Michael_Learned); old-fashioned (but shrewd) meteorologist Dr. McCutcheon (Will_Geer); Damon's imperiled wife, Louise (Jessica_Walter); and oblivious Bert Pearson (Frank_Sutton in his final movie role). Hurricane originally aired September 10, 1974, as the first installment of a brand-new ABC Movie of the Week season. Hal Erickson, Rovi
