When a thunderstorm knocks out power to NYC, opportunistic criminals besiege a residential tower of upscale apartments. They rape and murder their way all the way to the penthouse, where art collector Ray Milland awaits. Meanwhile, lone cop Jim Mitchum pursues them, with numerous stops along the way to save people trapped in the elevator or deliver a baby. Odd mixture of sadistic violence and by-the-numbers disaster melodrama.
