Doctor Strange (1978 TV movie)

Doctor Strange was a 1978 American action-fantasy movie that aired on the CBS television network as the pilot for a proposed weekly television series. Unlike 1977's The Amazing Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk, Doctor Strange suffered from poor ratings and was not picked up by the network as a weekly series. The film stars Peter Hooten as Dr. Stephen Strange, a powerful "Sorcerer Supreme" who protects Earth from evil, mystical threats. The movie is based on the Marvel Comics character created by Stan Lee and Stephen Ditko in 1963.

Scene Summary
A demon gives the evil Morgana le Fay (Jessica Walter) three days to kill the current Sorcerer Supreme and to corrupt his successor, putting an end to the barriers that have kept the demon from crossing over into the Earth realm. To accomplish the first part of her plan, le Fay uses mind control on a young woman named Clea Lake (Anne-Marie Martin) and has her push Sorcerer Supreme Lindmer (John Mills) to his (apparent) death from a highway overpass.
