BlackSunday (Italian title: La maschera del demonio) is a 1960 horror film directed by Mario Bava, from a screenplay by Ennio De Concini and Mario Serandrei, based very loosely on Nikolai Gogol’s short story "Viy" (aka “The Vij”).
Michael Lander (played by Bruce Dern in the film) is a psychotic American Blimp pilot deranged due to years as a tortured prisoner of war in Vietnam, a failed marriage, and a bitter court martial.
Conspiring with a Palestinianterrorist group known as Black September, Lander launches a nefarious plot to detonate a flechette-based bomb, housed in the undercarriage of a blimp, over a football stadium during the Super Bowl.
