  • "A bus carrying eight deaf children and their teachers stops in the middle of the Kansas countryside, a car wreck directly ahead. Soon, three escaped killers rise out of the nearby cornfields and take children and teachers hostage. Pursued by the police, the convicts are forced to hole up in an abandoned slaughterhouse. There they threaten to shoot a child every hour until their demands are met. A 12-hour war of wits begins between the FBI and the convicts leader, Lou Handy."
  • "Eight young deaf girls and their teachers are taken hostage in an abandoned slaughterhouse by three escaped killers. With the clock ticking, so begins a terrifying game of cat and mouse."

  • "A school bus carrying eight deaf school girls and their teachers brakes suddenly on a flat Kansas highway. They should never have stopped to investigate the car crash. Waiting for them are three heartless men just escaped from prison - each with nothing to lose. And now, with the girls as their hostages, they have everything to gain. Stark against the prairie stands an ancient slaughterhouse that still reeks of decades of spilled blood. It is here that they make their stand. It is here that cold killer Lou Handy, the ringleader, announces his terms; here that he will kill one innocent girl an hour unless his demands are met. What follows is a twelve-hour siege of noose-tight tension - and a war of nerves between Handy and the FBI's senior hostage negotiator, Arthur Potter."
