The higher the stakes, the greater the terror.

Marlon Brandon and Richard Boone star in this taut psychological thriller that examines the darkest impulses of the human psyche. A gang of four professional criminals brazenly kidnaps a wealthy teenage girl (Pamela Franklin) from an airport in Paris in a meticulous plan to extort money from the girl's father. Holding her prisoner in an isolated beach house, the gang's scheme runs perfectly until their personal demons surface and lead to a series of betrayals that culminate in a furious and explosive climax. The film that Time called "a keenly conducted seminar in the poetics of psychological terror" is a must-see for Brando fans.
