New York Ne Répond Plus

When the Big Apple is plunged into darkness from a power failure, a prison bus crashes and four trigger-happy convicts (Robert Carradine, Don Granberry, Terry Haig and Victor B. Tyler) break out and take cover in a nearby apartment building. A lone cop (Jim Mitchum) is called to the scene to stop the gang as they terrorize the residents for money and a means of transportation. Ray Milland stars as a crusty millionaire whose refusal to cooperate with the thugs results in the torching of his priceless collection of Picassos. Also stars Belinda Montgomery.
