Description
Cast: James Brolin, Cliff Gorman, Dan Hedaya. In a frenzied, sweat-soaked race across the wreckage of late-’70s New York, a former cop (James Brolin, in his finest leading role) hunts the deranged kidnapper of his daughter—mistaken for the child of a wealthy tycoon. As the clock ticks, the chase barrels through crumbling neighborhoods, sleazy dives, and shadowy tunnels, with violence lurking around every corner. A cult favorite for fans of NYC filmmaking in the “Fun City” era.
