Unsure of original phototype/filmotype name but it was also used on some 1970's Robert A. Heinlein book covers, from which Omega Design based their 1990's Heinlein font. Also used for the red Terminator POV scenes and the main titles/introductory text in 1987's The Running Man. Between these three sources (Terminator, Running Man, Heinlein books) you can view almost all of the characters.

As numerous people had previously requested this one, Yautja created Modern Vision via FontStruct. It offers a more complete and accurate character set than Heinlein but I would still recommend checking out both to see which best suits your needs.
Suggested font: Modern Vision

I’ve compiled some info about Bessellen on Fonts In Use and uploaded a scan of a full glyph set to Flickr:
