Samenvatting
De heetste zomer van de 20e eeuw was de zomer van 1977 in New York. De stad ging gebukt onder een eindeloze hittegolf. De temperatuur maakte de mensen langzaam gek. Een gevaarlijke psychopaat maakte vanaf dat moment de nachten tot een ware nachtmerrie. Met een 44-caliber werd de stad geterroriseerd. De media speelde een belangrijke rol in de ontstane paniek, die niet alleen alleen New York, maar de hele wereld in de ban hield.Credits
