This is not a TV movie, but an episode, a pilot one for the series.
Nevertheless a good episode, talkative with a few action, but inventive.
Banacek - a mix up between private investigator and bounty hunter - go for search about a vanishing armored truck in the middle of the desert. Of course he faces the local population: sheriff, drunken guys, Indian worker just out of jail and a big land owner. The prime suspect, of course.
But...
For me, it is not a TV movie. I guess the other episodes look the same.
