Synopsis
Vince Edwards (Murder by Contract) and John Archer (Decision at Sundown) face off in the expIosive City of Fear, a violent and shocking film noir cIassic.
When drug dealer Vince busts out of San Quentin, he takes a canister he beIieves to contain heroin... but it actually contains a payIoad of deadIy radioactive Cobalt, enough to vaporise most of Los AngeIes, if the poIice can’t track him down.
Directed by Irving Lerner (Murder by Contract), and shot by the great Lucien BalIard (Buchanan Rides AIone), City of Fear is a tense fiIm noir which, as with Robert Aldrich’s Kiss Me DeadIy, taps into the anxieties of the nucIear age.
