## Description

Five travelers sweat it out at gunpoint in an abandoned mining town in the Nevada desert. A killer escaped from the pen holds them, intending to scram after a doc tends to his wounded accomplice. Like The Petrified Forest and Key Largo, Split Second's tale of captives and captors lets the sweat drip, the tension build, the dialogue zing and when the occasion calls, the fists and bullets fly. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking: the mining town is practically ground zero for an A-bomb test slated to unleash its mushroom cloud in just a few hours. Musical-star-turned-film-noir-hero Dick Powell makes his taut and tough directorial debut, guiding Stephen McNally, Alexis Smith and Jan Sterling in this split-second suspense thriller.

Review: It’s a super, early Nuke movie with well-know actors and great suspense! - Love this early “Nuke “ movie. Suspense was great!
Review: Good movie from the fifties - I saw this film before, but I could not remember the title. Plenty of action.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s a super, early Nuke movie with well-know actors and great suspense!
*by D***A on July 16, 2022*

Love this early “Nuke “ movie. Suspense was great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good movie from the fifties
*by R***M on October 21, 2025*

I saw this film before, but I could not remember the title. Plenty of action.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Atomic Age Cop and Robber Drama
*by J***N on March 22, 2017*

A very intense early movie about criminals holding civilian hostages in a deserted town that will be used in an atomic bomb test in Nevada the next moring. The criminals believe that the police won't search,the town before the test time which will be at 6:00 a.m. There is tremenmdous drama between the crimminals inside a room in the town as a cat an mouse develops between the criminals and the hostages. As fate would have it, the atomic test is moved up to 5.00 a.m. wothout everyone knowing it, and there is ony 15 minutes till it happens. The movie climaxes as the criminals race to get out of the test town and the hoistages need to find refuge somwhere before the explosion. I leave the ending to the viewers so as not to spoil the climax..
