George Segal is Harry Calder, a safety inspector dripping with 70s cool who's swept into a vicious cat-and-mouse game with a bomber targeting amusement park rides. Released in the shadow of STAR WARS, ROLLERCOASTER wasn't just another picture chasing the decade's disaster movie craze, but one of the last films released in Universal's ambitious audio production process known as Sensurround. Utilizing a sound mix that would accentuate extended low-frequency bass during key scenes, the coaster sequences establish an audiovisual immersion that needs to be seen (or rather heard) to be believed.

Shooting on location at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Kings Dominion, and the now-defunct Ocean View Amusement Park, ROLLERCOASTER is a unique Hitchcockian thriller and essential artifact for both seekers of the next New Hollywood reassessment and theme park historians.
