24 Hours to Kill is an all-star crime caper filmed as an apparent tax write-off in Europe and Lebanon. Mickey Rooney plays an American airline purser whose greed gets the better of him. During a 24-hour layover in Beirut he transports a cache of stolen goods, which brings him to the attention of smuggler Walter Slezak. Lex Barker is the pilot who reluctantly tries to bail the avaricious Rooney out. A satisfying twist ending (especially satisfying to those for whom a little of Mickey Rooney goes a long way) caps 24 Hours to Kill. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
