The Threat (1949)

RKO Radio Pictures
Directed by Felix Feist
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

An escaped convict kidnaps the DA and detective who put him behind bars. He hijacks a moving van and takes off for the desert to meet his ex-partner with an airplane. He keeps his hostages alive, planning to take revenge, but they cleverly alert the police. An old girlfriend is also a prisoner, and she gets the last word. Competent, if slight, crime drama that unfolds with few surprises.
