The Story
Three gunmen seize a hilltop house to assassinate the president as his train rolls into a quiet California town.
Posing as federal agents, the killers take the Benson family hostage, their leader Baron, played chillingly against type by Frank Sinatra, settling in behind a sniper's rifle for a half-million-dollar payday. As the minutes tick toward the train's arrival, the trapped family must find some way to fight back. A taut, surprisingly dark thriller with Sinatra at his most menacing.
