When a passenger plane makes an emergency landing in Beirut, the pilot, Jamie Faulkner (Lex Barker) and his crew become caught up in criminal activity. Faulkner quickly discovers that his co-pilot (Mickey Rooney) is involved, and that his fellow crooks have reason to be extremely angry with him.
24 HOURS TO KILL is a rather slow-paced "thriller". There are several points where it seems as though something intriguing or exciting is about to happen, only to result in the opposite.
Barker does his best with the tepid material, while Rooney spends his time looking pensive and suspicious by turns. Modern action film-lovers will find few enthralling moments here. It's not terrible, just don't expect a James Bond movie...
