ON THIS DAY: In 1971, New York governor Nelson Rockefeller ordered an attack on Attica prison, in which state police retook the facility from rioting inmates. The 1980 television movie ATTICA, starring Charles Durning and George Grizzard, recounts the tense story of the takeover by prisoners and the bloody battle with police that followed. |
