Flashpoint is a 1984 film starring Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams. Rip Torn, Jean Smart, Kurtwood Smith, and Tess Harper also co-star. The movie was directed by William Tannen and based on a novel by George LaFountaine. This was the first theatrical film produced by Home Box Office (in association with Silver Screen Partners). The music score was provided by Tangerine Dream.
Flashpoint is one of at least six American films to present a dramatization portraying the assassination of John F. Kennedy as a conspiracy (the others being David Miller's 1973 film Executive Action, Alan J. Pakula's 1974 film The Parallax View, Oliver Stone's 1991 film JFK, John Mackenzie's 1992 film Ruby, and Neil Burger's 2002 mockumentary Interview with the Assassin). However, Flashpoint's connection to the Kennedy assassination is not made clear until a plot twist in the film's final act.
