Background
Critic Robert Cettl described Time Bomb as an update on 1970s trucker films and noted the unusual move of casting a woman to play the leader of a terrorist ring. The film was viewed as a slight departure from Fairchild and Olsen's images. Fairchild was cast to draw her large soap opera audience, Fairchild, who described her prior roles as largely "exploitative glitz," said she appreciated the grittier material.
