24 hours of nerve-jangling tension begin when a twisted psychotic kidnaps a teenage girl, mistaking her for the daughter of a wealthy real estate developer. Her determined father, a hard-hitting ex-cop, doggedly pursues them through New York’s seamy streets, decaying, burned-out Bronx tenements, and the grimy subterranean corridors beneath the city itself.
Brolin stars alongside Cliff Gorman, Richard S. Castellano, Julie Carmen, and Linda Miller.
Robert Butler (Up the Creek, Turbulence) replaced Sidney J. Furie (Superman IV: The Quest for Peace) as director a few weeks into production. William W. Norton (Day of the Animals) and Rick Natkin (Necessary Roughness) wrote the script, based on the 1975 novel by William P. McGivern.
