Description by OLDIES.com:
Nuclear physicist Frank Addison (Gene Barry, The War of the Worlds) and his wife are living every parent's worst nightmare: their son Tommy (Lee Aaker, TV's The Adventures Of Rin Tin Tin) has been kidnapped. The kidnapper's ransom demands are the secrets behind the H-bomb! The desperate scramble to rescue Tommy unfolds at a rapid pace in The Atomic City...from the streets of Los Angeles to cliff dwelling of Santa Fe; the real-life locations provide the vivid backdrops for this taut and suspenseful thriller. Director Jerry Hopper (Pony Express) makes his feature film debut.
Product Description:
An acclaimed nuclear physicist (Barry) at the Los Alamos research facility is part of an elite group of scientists with knowledge of nuclear weaponry. It is his skills as a father that come in to play, however, when terrorists kidnap his young son (Aaker). Hiding out in the surrounding hills, the culprits demand the plans to the H-bomb as ransom and threaten the boy's life if not delivered to their satisfaction.
