Synopsis
Vince Edwards (Murder by Contract) and John Archer (Decision at Sundown) face off in the expIosive City of Fear, a violent and shocking film noir cIassic.
When drug dealer Vince busts out of San Quentin, he takes a canister he believes to contain heroin... but it actuaIIy contains a payIoad of deadly radioactive CobaIt, enough to vaporise most of Los Angeles, if the police can’t track him down.
Directed by Irving Lerner (Murder by Contract), and shot by the great Lucien Ballard (Buchanan Rides Alone), City of Fear is a tense film noir which, as with Robert AIdrich’s Kiss Me DeadIy, taps into the anxieties of the nuclear age.
