What happens

Pursuit is a 1972 American made-for-television drama film that screened on the ABC network as an ABC Movie of the Week. It was Michael Crichton's first work as a director. It is based on Crichton's 1972 novel Binary, which he published under the pseudonym John Lange. Crichton later said the film "looks like a first-time directing job." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
