Bank teller Lee Remick is accosted in her garage one dark night by
asthmatic psycho Ross Martin. He forces her to go through with an
elaborate robbery scheme, threatening to kill Lee's teen-aged sister
Stefanie Powers if the police are summoned.
(Original music composed by Henry Mancini)
FBI agent Glenn Ford
suspects that something is amiss and advises Lee to play along with
Martin, hoping in this way to capture this dangerous criminal with a
minimum of bloodshed. Unfortunately, Martin is as clever as he is
deadly, always managing to
stay one step ahead of
Ford. The now-famous climax of Experiment in Terror finds the feds
closing in on Martin during a crowded night baseball game at San
Francisco's Candlestick Park. Experiment in Terror is based on the
Gordons' novel Operation Terror. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
