Where to Watch The Siege at Ruby Ridge
- Doc WormDecember 30, 2025This movie is an interesting cultural time capsule in its right. The actual Ruby Ridge stand off was in 1992. This made for tv movie came out in 1996. Can you imagine if today there was a made for prime time production of say the Stephen Paddock shooting? Overall- this one is pretty serviceable for an FBI propaganda piece. Laura Dern gives a pretty solid performance.
