SYNOPSIS:Killer Red Kluger (Charles McGraw) busts out of Folsom Prison and makes for a bleak desert hideout. But first he makes a violent detour to Los Angeles to kidnap the three people he blames for his ticket to the gas chamber: a cop (Michael O’Shea), the DA (Frank Conroy) and ex-girlfriend (Virginia Grey) he believes betrayed him. Before Red gets out of the country, he’s going to get even, one sweating, sadistic murder at a time.
In this gripping, relentlessly paced B-movie, film noir great McGraw – who breathed menace even when he played a cop or a detective – dominates the screen with a presence so ice-cold cruel not even the pitiless Mojave sun could melt it. Jittery with fear and suspense, The Threat is the kind of little-known gem every film fan rejoices in discovering.

  | Robert S. | | Charles McGraw at his coldest-killer-best. When the gun's on him, he's all smiles, all soothing, all calming. Then he gets it and barely changes his expression as he blasts away. A gritty, sweaty desert-shack of a movie, using a moving-van with the getaway car inside. Great fun for fans of Really Bad Guy Films. |
