Escape (1971)

Christopher George is an ex-escape artist turned private investigator hired by a doctor to protect him from kidnappers. He fails and is kidnapped anyway, so George, with the help of sidekick Avery Schreiber and the doctor's daughter, search for him. The trail leads to a medical laboratory deep underneath an amusement park where a sinister virus is being created. Potentially interesting plot gets bogged down by low budget made-for-tv sets and predictable action scenes. Even George's escapes are boring, borrowed straight from Houdini.
