Almost all the action takes place in a bank where the manager has to set a time-lock on a Friday night at 6pm that keeps the vault securely locked until 9am the following Monday.
But then the accountant's wife and six-year-old son arrive. It is the boy's birthday and he has been given a torch (flash-light) as a present. Of course he wants to try it out, and the dark unlit vault is a perfect place. A car crash outside distracts the manager and he doesn't see the boy go into the vault. When he comes away from the window he doesn't check inside the vault, just locks it up.
When they realise the boy must be inside, they try to unlock the vault. But can't. So they try to contact Head Office and the expert who knows about vaults. But he has already left for a fishing trip.
We all know that eventually they will rescue the boy, so "spoilers" don't apply, unless someone makes a disaster movie where the the heroes fail and everyone dies? Na.
It is hard to recognise Sean Connery at age 27.
Good acting, good story, not very demanding, so I liked it.
