Watergate-inspired TV movie

A pretty average TV movie of its era, it has to be said, and one which hasn't dated too well since release. Lynda Carter is so indelibly linked with her role as TV's Wonder Woman that she seems a little bored by her mundane role here, and the script doesn't give her much chance to do more than react to bad situations. The film opens with a couple of good set-pieces but once Carter takes over it slows down for the mid section, only interesting for casting Ronny Cox in an against-type role as a helicopter pilot. Things do pick up for the chase-based climax involving vehicles of various hues, but it's not quite enough to make this worthwhile.

Quotes
Sid Pachanski: [Brooke pays $260 cash for a helicopter shuttle] Only people who pay cash these days are criminals and politicians.
Brooke Newman: ... and people who don't like questions asked.
Sid Pachanski: I'd say you're either running out on your old man or you got a suitcase full of drugs.
[Brooke doesn't reply]
Sid Pachanski: Those weren't questions.
Brooke Newman: I think that I would prefer to take another service. Thank you.
[Brooke takes her cash back and heads for the door]
Sid Pachanski: Suit yourself, lady. 'Course, uh, I got the only helicopter service in Lubbock.
[Brooke pauses]
Sid Pachanski: All I'm asking, lady, is that you take those mirrors off. I trust eyes more than words or money... and I don't do anything for anybody I don't trust.
[Brooke takes her sunglasses off; Sid stands up, walks over to her, and looks deeply into her eyes]
Sid Pachanski: Great eyes.
