Savage (1973 TV film)

Savage is a 1973 American thriller-drama television pilot directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Martin Landau.

Spielberg didn't want to direct another TV film, coming off the success of the theatrical release of Duel, and was trying to get his own projects into production.

William Link and Richard Levinson were attempting to get their series The Savage Report off the ground as showrunners, and pushed Universal executive Sid Sheinberg to assign Spielberg the pilot.

"[2] Landau thought the show was "ahead of its time" and claimed it did not become a series because of its critique of TV news.
