When a bitter ex-employee (Vic Morrow) takes action against a rocket fuel manufacturing plant by threatening to blow up the plant, his former supervisor (Stephen McNally) races against time emptying the company's fuel tanks to prevent a catastrophic inferno. But when the unhinged man kidnaps the supervisor's wife (Coleen Gray) as a hostage, things get complicated. Written, produced and directed by Jack L. Copeland, his only feature film credit. What could have been an intense B movie thriller doesn't even get past the starting gate. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with so much stock footage. Vic Morrow as the psycho gives a terrible over the top "method acting" performance that borders on camp. It's a thriller without any tension or suspense, it just lies there. i won't even begin to list the numerous flaws in the script. With Maurice Manson and Robert Foulk.
