Curiosidades

Rage is a 1972 American environmental thriller film directed by George C. Scott in his feature directorial debut, and starring Scott, Richard Basehart, Martin Sheen, and Barnard Hughes. The plot, which is inspired by the 1968 Dugway sheep incident, follows a rancher and his family who are fatally exposed to a military lab's poison gas.

Production

Fred Weintraub told the San Francisco Chronicle that Philip Friedman and Dan Kleinman approached him with a script based on the Dugway incident. They had fictionalized it to include poisoned humans, which was never a verified outcome of the accident. In their treatment, the gas has damaged the rancher's brain, causing the disproportionate reaction to the Army's secrecy about his son's death.

The film was shot entirely in Arizona, much of it on a Nogales ranch once owned by actor Stewart Granger.
