Two Minute Warning is a 1976 thriller/disaster film directed by Larry Peerce and starring an ensemble cast including Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Martin Balsam, and Beau Bridges. The plot follows a mysterious gunman who appears at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum during Championship X (a thinly-disguised reference to Superbowl X) and the efforts of the police to stop him before he can cause mass panic.
The sniper (Warren Miller) above the scoreboard at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum uses, according to LAPD Capt. Peter Holly (Charlton Heston), a "modified Remington 742". The rifle is fitted with a scope, an extended 30- round magazine, and is concealed within special pockets in the sniper's jacket.

M16 (SP1) rifles are used by most members of the LAPD SWAT team, including Sergeant Chris Button (John Cassavetes). The rifles have the original three-prong flash hiders and 30 round magazines.
