Executive Action is a 1973 film about the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, written by Dalton Trumbo, Donald Freed and Mark Lane, and directed by David Miller.
The film opened to a storm of controversy over the depiction of the
assassination: in some places in the U.S., the film ran only 1 to 2
weeks in movie theaters or got pulled from them altogether. The movie
was part fiction, but it would contest other reports of the
assassination, including the controversial Warren Commission
report of 1964, which led to attacks against the film. The trailers for
the film never ran on certain television stations, including WNBC-TV in
New York City. The criticism of the film and its suggestion of a Military-industrial complex
conspiracy led to the film being removed totally from the movie
theaters by early December 1973 and getting no TV/Video runs until the
1980s and mid-1990s, when it got legal release and distribution for TV
and video. The film was originally released on November 7, 1973, almost
two weeks before the tenth anniversary of the JFK Assassination.
