Tagline: Michael bosworth is looking for a place to call home... Just for a few hours.
Plot: A dizzying battle for survival within the constraints of a hostage situation inside a suburban home, this remake of the 1955 original was filmed largely in Salt Lake City and was written with the collaboration of Joseph Hayes, who authored the original novel, Broadway play, and the 1955 screenplay. Featuring engaging performances by Mimi Rogers and Anthony Hopkins, the film tracks the mayhem caused by a ruthless criminal who takes a suburban family hostage as he waits for and plans his ultimate escape. The highly intelligent Bosworth (Mickey Rourke) escapes from prison, aided by his lovesick attorney, Nancy. Leaving his lawyer behind, Bosworth joins his brother, Wally (Elias Koteas), and their partner. Needing a hideout, the three enter and terrorize the home of Tim (Hopkins) and Nora (Rogers) Cornell. The family’s internal troubles are highlighted as Bosworth and his clan play mind games with the family and diligent FBI agent Chandler takes charge of the manhunt.
