Black Sunday is both a book by Thomas Harris and a movie starring Robert Shaw and Bruce Dern.
Summary (the movie is a good rendition of the book):
- Michael Lander (played by Dern in the film), an American blimp pilot, made psychotic by his treatment as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, and frustrated by the lack of sympathy shown to him by the government that sent him there, decides to hook up with a Palestinian terrorist group known as Black September, in order to detonate a shrapnel bomb housed in a blimp undercarriage over a football stadium during the Superbowl. The only man who can stop him is David Kabakov (played by Shaw), an Israeli-government assassin who will stop at nothing to prevent the catastophe.

Black Sunday is also the name given, in Disney parlance, to Disneyland's opening day, in 1955. Much of the park was incomplete; a plumbers' strike had made Disney choose between having adequate restrooms and adequate drinking fountains (he chose the former); the asphalt pavement on Main Street was still soft; to make matters worse, the relatively small group of invited guests were joined by hundreds more who had managed to get in with forged admission tickets, or by climbing over fences. Worse: it all happened on national television.
