Anyone Seen "Battleground"?

Post by jadewik » Wed Jul 16, 2008 12:21 pm

"Battleground" with William Hurt was a made-for-TV movie where a hit man is besieged after he killed a toy manufacturer. This disgruntled single man was attacked repeatedly in his apartment by hundreds of tiny toy soldiers. The hour long movie had no dialogue! The movie has been especially praised for telling its story without dialogue. It aired as part of the "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" anthology based on Stephen King stories; the complete series is on DVD.

I haven't seen it, but I did have a co-worker recommend it to me. Has anyone else seen this movie?

I remember this... I think I was in Junior high. Must about 1982/83. If this is the same movie, I enjoyed it as a kid. Being in the pre-CGI era, the toy soldiers were live actors superimposed on the screen.
