Details.
This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
The Gun is a 1974 American thriller drama television film. It stars David Huffman, Ron Thompson, Richard Bright, Pepe Serna, Lee de Broux, and Stephen Elliott. It was written directly for television by Jay Benson, Richard Levinson, and William Link, and directed by John Badham, then a working director of television productions. Levinson and Link were also the producers of the film. It aired on ABC as a Movie of the Week on November 13, 1974.
The Gun was inspiration for the song "Golden Ring", recorded by George Jones and Tammy Wynette in 1976. The song would reach number-one on the Billboard Country Singles chart later that year.
There have been episodes of TV series inspired by this TV-movie, such as a 1975 episode of Hawaii Five-O titled "Diary of a Gun." A 1982 episode of Quincy, M.E. titled "Guns Don't Die" has a very similar plot to The Gun, including the ending.
