A classic British thriller from 1972, Fear is the Key is based on the bestselling novel by Alistair MacLean. Barry Newman is John Talbot, a man whose life erupts into tragedy when he hears his brother’s voice on the radio of an aeroplane carrying his family, telling him that a plane is diving on them, firing. Embarking on an elaborate revenge mission, Talbot finds himself perused by the police and kidnappers alike. His destiny soon becomes entangled with the daughter of a multi-millionaire (Suzy Kendall), as, trapped together in a heavily guarded mansion, they begin a frantic search for the truth, and their freedom.
