Hard to believe, but I was 12 years old when this movie was first shown on TV.Like other reviewers, "Shadow on the Land" made an impact on me like no other made for TV movie that the networks were churning out at the time, with the exception of "Duel" and perhaps "The Brotherhood of the Bell".There were just three networks: ABC, CBS, and NBC. Nothing else. Cable TV and video recorders didn't exist.It is a little dated, considering it was 1968, but the message about the possibility of an American fascist state coming into existence is scary.This movie is prophetic and well worth your time to find.I am looking for a copy of this movie.

saw this at school when I was in the sixth grade ! the entire school was shown the film . after wards we were told to never forget this film ! to remember it as long as we lived , because it could happen ! sadly it's beginning to look like the warning was dead on ! everyone should see shadow on the land ! was well acted well thought out piece ! seems to be unavailable at this time ! would love to see it released on DVD ! would make a good addition to any 60's film collection , and one with relevance to the situation we find ourselves in today ! yes it is political ! but politics plays an important part in todays world . it affects everyone of every race , religion and walk of life !

This is a prophetic made for TV movie (first shown in 1968), particularly in light of current events in the US (2006).It is basically about a rebel group fighting a fascist government that has taken over the US. The airport scenes are a bit eerie now and the creation of the new federal police force as authorized in the Patriot Act sure looks like the Internal Security Force in the movie.No wonder this movie as not seen the light of day in years...If you want your paranoia level to go up, watch this movie and think about todays events...I AM LOOKING FOR A COPY OF THIS MOVIE.

This is a 1968 made for TV movie which was aired only a few times. It is an excellent science fiction- future history movie with the premise that America has descended into a dictatorship because Americans have voluntarily given up their freeedoms in the face of an outside threat. Now that threat has been eliminated, the people in power seek to keep their power... They are opposed by a secret underground called The Sons of Liberty. I wish this was available to buy in DVD!
