'''''Black Sunday''''' is a 1977 thriller directed by [[John Frankenheimer]] and stars [[Robert Shaw]] as Maj. David Kabakov, a Mossad operative who teams with an FBI agent in order to stop a terrorist plan to destroy the football stadium hosting the Super Bowl. The film was an adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Thomas Harris (the author of ''[[The Silence of the Lambs]]'') and was notable for filming scenes during the second half of the actual Super Bowl X. This was also one of Shaw's final starring roles prior to his untimely death in 1978. | |||

Palestinian terrorist leader Nageeb (Victor Campos) attempts to grab what appears to be a [[Colt M1911A1]] pistol from his bedstand before being shot by Israeli commandos during a raid in Beirut.
