When the Department of Defense finally provided a short videotape of Cuban weapons caches found in warehouses on Grenada, Cuban prisoners and a few seconds of combat, CBS aired it with a prominent label on-screen reading, "Cleared by Defense Department Censors."

"The first day of shooting I was asked to ride a horse up a steep hill to a castle; at the same time I was told to hold on to a live hawk with a glinting brown eye," says Broderick, who was last seen on-screen playing WarGames with a renegade Defense Department computer.
