Short description

Roy Tucker, a Vietnam war veteran with excellent shooting skills, is serving a long prison sentence when a mysterious visitor promises him that he will be released if he agrees to carry out a dangerous assignment.

What's left behind the scenes

After filming at San Quentin State Prison in California, actor Mickey Rooney (1920-2014) received a commemorative plaque from the inmates with an engraved message thanking him for being a good person.
During the filming of a car crash, operator Fred J. Konekamp (1922-2017) was injured when he was hit by a car door that was speeding towards actress Candice Bergen. Fortunately, the impact to his eye was cushioned by the rubber rim around the camera lens, but Konekamp still suffered a concussion, required stitches, and was replaced as operator by Ernest Laszlo (1898-1984).
