Synopsis:
IN THE RIGHT HANDS, FEAR IS THE DEADLIEST WEAPON OF ALL!
From bestselling author Alistair MacLean ( The Guns of Navarone , Where Eagles Dare ) comes a pulse pounding, rip-roaring rampage of revenge starring Barry Newman, the king of existential cool who had previously put the pedal to the metal in Vanishing Point .
Mysterious drifter John Talbot (Newman) arrives in a small Louisiana town, picks up a fight with local police and gets arrested. In court it is revealed he's wanted for a number of violent crimes, but nothing is quite what it seems. Staging a daring escape, Talbot abducts seemingly random spectator Sarah Ruthven (Suzy Kendall) and hits the road at high speed for a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns: a crashed airplane, a sleazy private investigator, criminal enforcers, and an oil millionaire. It's a journey toward truth and vengeance and Talbot won't hit the brakes until he gets there.
Director Michael Tuchner ( Villain ) delivers a crackerjack crime-thriller packed with great performances (including Ben Kingsley in his first movie role), an unforgettable score by Roy Budd ( Get Carter ), and stunt sequences coordinated by the legendary Carey Loftin ( Bullit , Vanishing Point , The French Connection ). Fear Is the Key is a white-knuckle winner that demands to be seen!
