About The Vision
Veteran broadcaster James Marriner is persuaded to front a new big budget national family TV channel. But he begins to suspect that the channel is a front for something much more sinister and political.
Directed by Norman Stone, The Vision leans on a strong ensemble — Lee Remick, Dirk Bogarde, Eileen Atkins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 1987.
