About Twenty-Four Hours to Kill
When a jet airliner with engine trouble lands in Beirut for a twenty-four hour stopover, purser 'Jonesey' fears his life is in danger from a gold-smuggling gang whom he double-crossed on a previous trip. So begins a day of chilling suspense, as he and other crew members find themselves embroiled in a desperate race to get out of the country alive!
Directed by Peter Bezencenet, Twenty-Four Hours to Kill leans on a strong ensemble — Lex Barker, Mickey Rooney, Michael Medwin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1965.
