Greed and Corruption Within the UMWA

After a coal mine collapses and kills 80 miners in West Virginia a man named "Joseph 'Jock' Yablonski" (Charles Bronson) decides to do something about the greed on the part of the coal companies and the corruption within the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) by running for president of that organization. Naturally, this doesn't make the current president "Tony Boyle" very happy and being the unscrupulous person that he is decides to do whatever is necessary to retain his grip on the union--and the money and power that goes with it. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film was based on a true story which made major headlines in all of the newspapers across America and this made-for-television film does true justice to it. Of course, being a made-for television film, it has some inherent restrictions which sometimes lessen the overall entertainment value but all things considered this picture captured the basics rather well and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
