The Looming Tower

By the late 1990s, FBI counterterrorism section chief John O’Neill (Jeff Daniels) viewed a strike by al-Qaeda on American soil as an inevitability. However, an interagency turf war between the Bureau and the CIA on which was best positioned to handle the threat led to dangerous and fateful mutual stonewalling over access to vital intel. Gripping miniseries adaptation of the Lawrence Wright book also stars Tahar Rahim, Wrenn Schmidt, Bill Camp, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Peter Sarsgaard. 8 1/3 hrs. on two discs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
