""Night Game" was the first movie in years to be filmed in the Astrodome, joining "Brewster McCloud", a peculiar 1971 Robert Altman film largely shot in the stadium, "The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training", and "Murder at the World Series", an ABC-TV movie of the week that featured the Astros in a World Series before they had even won a division championship. This newest movie is also a murder mystery. Roy Scheider plays a Galveston detective who is cheering for the Astros in the midst of a tight pennant race. But one problem, he is assigned to track down a serial killer. And Scheider is discovering that the murders take place on the same night that Houston wins games."
