Representing a piece of history I felt that this production touched on the frightening truth that we must always be vigilant. As a historian I thought that they did a good job in recreating this event step by step. The performances of Quaid and Dern were perhaps a little over the top but Kirsten Dunst did well as Sara Weaver. The location where this was filmed looked so like the actual Weaver Compound that I wondered if they had gotten permission to film it on that exact location. The court trial was a major victory for Jerry Spence and they recreated this portion of it well. Comparing it to the reproduction of the Waco incident where so many were killed in a fire, I thought it a lesser production but still worth the time to watch it.. Don't spend your Saturday night watching this but don't miss it...
