Might be good.

I watched one of those type movies on TV when I was a kid like 20 years ago. "Special Report" was it, where bad guys set off a nuke in the US?

Great Movie, too. I think it was called "Special Bulletin".
It was done like a breaking story with talking heads at a news desk with field reporters and such. Starred Ed Flanders
(St. Elsewhere) and the bomb, which domestic terrorists had rigged on a tugboat in a Charleston harbour, was captured. Feds move in and take out the bad guys but fool around with a bomb that has anti-handling devices hooked to it. KA-BOOOM!! Atomic blast on American soil. People freaked, as I recall...flooding new rooms with questions....police forces
contacted. Kind of like "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast by Orson Welles.

Nicely done and scary as all get out. I think its on DVD somewhere.
