The Glass Wall
THE 10-HOUR MANHUNT...that tore New York apart!
Directed by Maxwell Shane
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A noir-inflected manhunt thriller about a desperate immigrant racing against deportation in post-war New York, driven by survival stakes and the search for a lifeline.
Peter Kuban, a Hungarian refugee, is about to be deported after jumping ship in New York harbor. He needs to find an ex-G.I. named Tom whom he helped during the war, as Tom can prove Peter's right to legal entry into the United States. If he can't find Tom within 24 hours and prove his case, he will be branded a fugitive and will be permanently disqualified for U.S. citizenship.
