Tomorrow at Ten on AllMovie

Tomorrow at Ten stars Robert Shaw as a desperate criminal who kidnaps a small boy. He locks his victim in a room with a time bomb set to go off at 10 AM, then posts his ransom demands. When the police catch up with the kidnapper, he dies without revealing the bomb's location. With precious little time left, the police attempt to retrace the criminal's steps, rescue the boy, and keep half of London from being blown to bits. The plot for 1964's Tomorrow at Ten has since been lifted bodily for use in several American TV programs, notably The FBI (in which the kidnapee was a teenager, played by singing idol Bobby Sherman).
