This review is from: Without Warning - The James Brady Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Beau Bridges won a well deserved Emmy for his portrayal of James Brady, the US presidential Press Secretary who was critically wounded and left disabled for life in the 1981 Ronald Reagan assassination attempt, an attempt in which Reagan himself was also wounded. The film's real success lies with the dramatic and compelling depiction of how Brady and his life attempted to rebuild their lives under the international spotlight, and it highlighted the fact that the National Rifle Association, one of the most powerful pro-gun lobby groups in the world, would rather have us forget - that not everyone deseves to have the privilege of gun ownership.
