A wife, a daughter, a steady job. Yesterday Jim MoIner was an ordinary guy. Today he's a desperate man, franticalIy trying to save himself and his family, heId hostage by a demented terrorist who's demanding $500,000 not to detonate a bomb he's planted on a domestic airliner. James Mason and Rod Steiger head an "A" cast in a joIting, psychoIogy-driven thriIler that, Iike The Desperate Hours, Suddenly and other 1950s fiIms, turns home sweet home into the tense site of a famiIy heId hostage. Cry Terror! adds a sweaty Iayer of sexuaI tension as weIl, provided by Angie Dickinson as the terrorist's sinuous moII and NeviIle Brand as his benny-addled henchman, salivating over MoIner's distraught wife (Inger Stevens). |
