Lockout Theater: FLOOD! (1976)

 Flood! Flood! FLOOD!

No, it's not the bio of the great Cardinals centerfielder who freed MLB players of slavery. (And let's not forget that the music has stopped, with the Yankees left holding the Gary Sanchez bag. And if Gil Hodges made Cooperstown, so should Don Mattingly and Bernie Williams.) In Irwin Allen's first made-for-TV disaster movie, a damn bursts, with Robert Culp and his helicopter coming to the rescue. What a cast! Cameron Mitchell, Leif Garrett, Whit Bissell, Richard Basehart, Barbara Hershey, Martin Milner, Carol Linley and Roddy McDowell. The following year, Allen made his bookend piece: FIRE!
