The clock is ticking for Johnny Depp in 'Nick of Time', a twist-filled, race-against-time thriller directed by John Badham. And indeed it is a race, filmed in "real time" so that onscreen events unfold minute by nail-biting min as they would in real life.

No sooner does accountant Gene Watson (Johnny Depp) arrive at L.A.'s Union Station with his six-year-old daughter than he's plunged into a nightmare. Two shadowy strangers (Christopher Walken) separate Watson from his little girl, slap a gun into his hand and present a devil's bargain: kill a top government official before she leaves a nearby political rally...or never again see his beloved child. The clock starts now.

An all-star cast and jazzy score highlight this charming comedy, a deft satire of classic caper films like Rififi. Big Deal On Madonna Street hilariously details the plight of a sad-sack group of bumbling thieves and their desperate attempts to pull off the perfect heist.
