The Four Day Revolution (broadcast in the Philippines as A Dangerous Life) is a 1988 Australian television film directed by Robert Markowitz and written by David Williamson.

In the Philippines, American journalist Tony O'Neill is driven by his cameraman and technical operator Ramon to Manila International Airport to cover Aquino's arrival.

In the course of his reporting, he is invited by Imelda to Malacañang in an unsuccessful attempt to tone down his coverage, while developing a relationship with Celie, the niece of local newspaper publisher Ben Balamo.

Behind these events, Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and a group of disgruntled soldiers plot Marcos' overthrow in a coup d'état while liaising with Cory and other dissident minds, while Gens.

On Election Day, goons harass Tony and Ramon, while the fraudulent result in favor of Marcos leads to more upheavals with the Aquino camp calling for civil disobedience.

The next three days see the unfolding of the People Power Revolution, and after attempts by the Marcoses to take back control, they finally realize their defeat and flee into exile with American help.

On 18 November 1987, producer Hal McElroy sent a letter to President Corazon Aquino informing her of his and director Robert Markowitz's intention to film a miniseries in the Philippines the following year titled A Dangerous Life, about the People Power Revolution.

[2][3] McElroy was advised by the local producer Lope V. Juban to first consult with the major figures to be depicted, such as Fidel V. Ramos and Juan Ponce Enrile.

[3][4] By 9 March, McElroy filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, arguing that the miniseries will not feature Enrile as a character, but a week later the RTC nevertheless went forth and issued a writ of preliminary injunction halting its production.

"[3] Colonel Gregorio Honasan, a former military aide to Enrile, also filed a similar complaint in court against the miniseries' production company, but it was eventually waived due to his being a "fugitive of justice.

[7] Karla Delgado, also of the Manila Standard, gave a negative review to the miniseries, deeming it "misfocused" due to the inclusion of a fictional romantic subplot, which she thought was less interesting than the real events depicted.
