What happens

The Enemy Within is a 1994 American political thriller television film directed by Jonathan Darby and written by Darryl Ponicsan and Ron Bass. It is a remake of the 1964 film Seven Days in May, itself based on a 1962 novel, and stars Forest Whitaker, Jason Robards, Jr., Dana Delany and Sam Waterston. The film involves a planned military coup to overthrow the President of the United States. The television film remake was originally announced in 1984, while producer Peter Douglas (son of Kirk Douglas, star of the original film) worked for his father's film production company The Bryna Company (which had produced Seven Days in May). The film took ten years to develop and was finally produced in 1994 through Peter Douglas' own film production company, Vincent Pictures. It aired on HBO on August 20, 1994.
