24 Hours to Kill
24 Hours to Kill is a 1965 British thriller film shot in Techniscope and Technicolor that was filmed in Lebanon. It was directed by Peter Bezencenet, and stars Lex Barker, Mickey Rooney and Walter Slezak.
A Transcontinental Airlines airliner on an international flight develops engine trouble en route to Athens. Pilot Jamie Faulkner is forced to land in Beirut, where the aircraft is to lay over for 24 hours. Although the crew look forward to rest and relaxation in the then glamorous tourist hot spot, one of the crew members is in fear of his life due to his being a target of a criminal organisation based in the city.
Purser Norman Jones, on the run from a gang of gold smugglers headed by Malouf, a smuggler, gains the sympathy of the flight's captain and other members of the crew who believe that Jones has been wrongly associated with the syndicate.
The gang twice attempts to kill Jones and tries to kidnap air hostess Louise Braganza, the captain's girl friend. Jamie learns that Jones is a member of Malouf's gang and has actually stolen £40,000 worth of bullion from the syndicate.
Although the gangsters kidnap air hostess Françoise Bertram to propose an exchange. Françoise, however, after a fight, is rescued by the airline crew. Jones is captured by Malouf but saved by Jamie and the crew, but just as the airliner takes off, Jones is killed by one of Malouf's men.
