There aren't many disaster films set at the Super Bowl but we do what we can, given we’ll never have another.
With the skies above Minneapolis abuzz with black helicopters, armed troops wandering the streets of Minnesota, bomb-sniffing dogs giving everyone the once-over, and a game-day security plan that probably includes a ban on tailgating and/or undercover snipers positioned throughout the stadium, it seems it’s time once again to pull out my Super Bowl disaster films.
Of course I do this every year, but that's not the point.
There haven’t been many Super Bowl disaster movies, in no small part because the National Football League is comprised of a bunch of litigious tightasses who seem to think snipers, crashing blimps loaded with projectiles, and thousands of panicking fans trampling one another to get to safety would somehow reflect them in a bad light.
