Genres: Thriller
Rating:
A stranger pulled into a deadly scheme races against time to save his daughter in this thriller. Gene Watson (Johnny_Depp) is an accountant who comes to L.A. with his ten-year-old daughter Lynn (Courtney_Chase) to attend a funeral. On the street, Gene and Lynn are pulled aside by Mr. Smith (Christopher_Walken) and Ms. Jones (Roma_Maffia), who flash what look like police badges and usher them into a van. Gene soon discovers that he's been kidnapped, and his captors have an unusual demand -- if Gene does not murder Gov. Eleanor Grant (Marsha_Mason) within 75 minutes, his daughter will be killed. Gene now has just an hour and a quarter to tip off the authorities, spare Gov. Grant, and find out what Smith and Jones are trying to do, along with saving his daughter's life. He finds a much-needed ally in one-legged shoe-shine man Huey (Charles_S._Dutton). Most of the action in Nick of Time occurs in "real time," meaning that the passage of time on screen matches that of real life, as the frequent shots of clocks and watches will attest.
