Suddenly

Posing as federal agents, the killers take the Benson family hostage, their leader Baron, played against type by Frank Sinatra, settling in behind a sniper's rifle for a half-million-dollar payday. When the local sheriff arrives he is shot and wounded, leaving the trapped family to improvise its own resistance. With the train only minutes away, a desperate gambit involving the electrified table beneath the rifle turns the assassins' weapon against them and breaks the plot apart.
