The Killers, in 1964, was the first made for TV movie. It was later released in theaters because it was too violent for TV at the time. The story is based on auto racing. Max Balchowski'a famous "Old Yeller ll" is in the pits. Max was even involved making movie Bullitt with Steve McQueen.

It was the only movie that Ronald Reagan was the bad guy. The Ernest Hemingway story was second movie of The Killers. The first was in 1946 and based on boxing.
