Disappearance

Harry Hamlin stars in this suspenseful horror about a family who explore a long-abandoned ghost town, deep in the desert. It could be the last mistake they ever make., A holiday through the Mojave Desert is one the Henley family will want to forget. Against the advice of everyone, they decide to take a slight detour and stop off at an old town marked on their map. They follow the unpaved road towards the ‘ghost town’, and immediately begin to regret their decision when strange things begin happening around them., This eerie cable-TV movie begins as married couple Jim and Patty (played by one-time L.A. Law costars Harry Hamlin and Susan Dey), accompanied by their children, drive through the Nevada desert in their SUV. Through an unfortunate set of circumstances, the family finds itself marooned in a deserted (and uncharted) town called Weaver. Or is it truly deserted? The spectral images encountered by Jim and Patty may be the spirits of Indians interred in a local burial mound, or they might be the hideously misshapen victims of a botched nuclear test. Whatever the case, it is what the audience doesn’t see that induces the goose pimples.
