Two Minute Warning is a 1976 thriller 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 Super Bowl X) and the efforts of the police to stop him before he can cause mass panic. When the film aired on US network television, the film was re-edited to add a heist subplot in order to tone down the violent nature of the original premise.
The following weapons were used in the 1976 film Two Minute Warning:
Smith & Wesson Model 15
All LAPD officers, including Captain Peter Holly (Charlton Heston) , are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 15 revolvers.
