Near to the seventh annual meeting to celebrate their graduation and friendship, the successful anchor of a television network John Tanner (Rutger Hauer) is convinced by CIA director Maxwell Danforth (Burt Lancaster) and his agent Lawrence Fassett (John Hurt) that his best friends belong to a Soviet Union organization called Omega. The CIA installs cameras and microphones everywhere in his house to monitor Bernard Osterman (Craid T. Nelson), Richard Tremayne (Dennis Hopper) and Joseph Cardone (Chris Sarandon). A complicated and very evil plot is disclosed along the weekend. Yesterday I saw "The Osterman Weekend" maybe for the fourth time, but now on DVD, and I still like it. However, with the end of the Cold War and the present state-art of communication, this story has become dated, and lost a great part of its impact. However, in 1983, it was ahead of time, criticizing the media through television. The Double Commemorative Edition DVD features a second disc, with the documentary "From Alpha to Omega: The Making of 'The Osterman Weekend' (2004)". This documentary was released in 2004, and presents a complete dossier about this movie. My vote is seven.
