This is a splendid little sleeper of a movie. Ernie Kovacs was one of the giants of early television. I think he would be pleased with the way Jeff Goldbloom captures his wonky personality. Melody Anderson also distills that of Edie Adams. There is a very basic heart tugging story about the search for Kovacs' two abducted daughters. But at the same time the film is funny --- Cloris Leachman is a hoot as Kovacs impossible mom --- and has many of the offbeat and innovative qualities of the old Kovacs show itself.

Em 1997, Nova York se tornou uma prisão de segurança máxima onde estão os piores criminosos. Mas quando o avião do Presidente dos EUA cai em Manhattan, é oferecida a liberdade a um condenado e herói de guerra para resgatar o mandatário.
