Plots(1)
Wilder plays Michael Jordon, an innocent bystander turned victim turned hero. Kate Hellman (Radner) falls in love with him while looking for her brother's murderers. Together they're caught in a world of international intrigue, suspense and murder.
Ransom (Richard Widmark), a ruthless adversary, is intent on eliminating Michael. Pursued by Ransom, Michael and Kate embark on a bold mission which takes them on a wild ride in an airplane high above the Grand Canyon, to a hidden military command center, through a frenzied chase in the streets of New York and to a desert outpost where attackers besiege them from all sides.
