A forgotten disaster flick; and one of the first of the 70s RELEASED TO TV IN 1972 and directed by Barry Shear, "Short Walk to Daylight" chronicles events when eight people struggle to make it out of the dark tunnels of the New York subway system after an apparent earthquake. Although “Airport” (1970) is considered the first ‘disaster film’ of the 70s, it was “The Poseidon Adventure” (1972)
