An executive is taken as a political prisoner and detained in a detention centre. He, along with others, is accused of being a conspirator who wishes to topple the new dictatorial communist-like government who have taken control.

Many years ago I saw this movie on late-night television. Finally, after all this time I stumbled across it on a compilation.

984: PRISONER OF THE FUTURE was the pilot for a Canadian television that never went to series but was instead released as a TV movie in 1982. Having watched it twice now, I can understand why it was never picked up but I also want to be clear that I respect what they were trying to do.
