This movie is quite good and exciting to watch... it is based on a book and as far as I know there was already a movie based on it before. It might not be the best TV thriller ever, but is suspenseful and keeps you interested in how the story moves on. Philippe Brenninkmeyer (who plays the Dr. Highley) is a very interesting actor and his performance is impressive. But more important - if you are an Angie Everhart - fan like me, you will definitely enjoy this movie. I'm glad A. Everhart does have the leading part in TV thrillers that often, as those are just the kind of movies I like to see, so I very much enjoyed watching "The Cradle Will Fall". "Highley" recommended :-)...
