Rage might have been a top script in 1972 but fast forward to watch it now and it only solidifies how in 1972 the government could come in and take over ones medical situation, while keeping the main character sedated as to not find out his son has died and he will follow him shortly....all in the Good name of science and "what's best" for the patient. A toxic chemicals were released into the air and Scott's son dies. The main doctor characters and the military are all covering up this grave error and Scott dies before he can fully get his revenge. I felt totally uncomfortable watching this. George C Scott's acting is of course suburb but the movie ponders much too slow. There is the usual cast of characters all TV watchers for the past 50 years will be familiar with and leading the cast next to Scott is Martin Sheen and Richard Basehart. The movie was produced before HIPPA rights kicked in and all characters are motivated by Fear of the army. This film would draw a skeptical and angry crowd in 2021....and it would get plenty of tomatoes thrown at the screen.
