IMDb profile |
Wrong Is Right (Columbia Pictures, 1982) is a prescient black comedy thriller about the theft of two suitcase bombs, featuring the then novel plot conventions of media bias, government conspiracy, and Islamic terrorism. The film, which starred Sean Connery as a TV news reporter and directed by Richard Brooks, was a commercial and critical failure at the time of its release.
The film is also notable for a joke at the end of the movie in which Connery rips off his toupee on camera.
