A snarling gangster steals ten million dollars (not shown) double crosses his partners, hides the loot, then commits a second crime to cover his tracks, get arrested, and wait out the statute of limitations on the first robbery while sitting in prison for, oh, about ten years. The IMF team pose as doctors and trick him into believing he is terminally ill and can be frozen until a cure for his fatal disease is found. This necessitates letting him out of prison, naturally, so he can be tricked into leading them to the hidden loot. I could go on, but you get the picture. I suppose cryogenics had been in the news, and so producers decided to build a story around that idea. But the whole set up is preposterous. Every plot point defies logic. You'll be shaking your head in disbelief the entire time. Guest star Donnelly Rhodes doesn't generate one once of charisma, or sympathy, and poor Martin Landau looks embarrassed at the end. I'm sorry to be so mean-spirited, but the ignorance on display here is worthy of a punishingly low rating.
