A wife, a daughter, a steady job. Yesterday Jim Molner 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 jolting, psychology-driven thriIIer that, like The Desperate Hours, SuddenIy and other 1950s fiIms, turns home sweet home into the tense site of a family heId hostage. Cry Terror! adds a sweaty layer of sexuaI tension as weIl, provided by Angie Dickinson as the terrorist's sinuous moll and NeviIle Brand as his benny-addled henchman, saIivating over Molner's distraught wife (lnger Stevens). |
