Starring real-life news personalities Sander Vanocur, Bree Walker and Warren Olney, mixed in with obvious actors such as John de Lancie, Gina Hecht and Jane Kaczmarek, Without Warning tricks many viewers – despite extensive on-screen notification that they are not viewing a real news event – into thinking that a real national emergency is underway. Welles would’ve been proud.
