    An escaped convict (Humphrey Bogart) with nothing to lose holds a suburban everyman's family hostage, leaving the man, who has everything to lose, no choice but to confront him. As the desperate hours tick by, the two square off in a battle of wills and cunning that tightens into an unforgettable, fear-drenched finale.
