Season QFT Late - Cult & Classic

A sleazesploitation crime thriller that could have only been made on the mean, gritty streets of "Fear City"-era New York, Night of the Juggler is a nonstop gonzo cult classic lovingly restored in 4K.

When a young girl is kidnapped in broad daylight in Central Park, her kidnapper, murderous psychopath Gus (Cliff Gorman), demands a huge ransom for her return, mistakenly believing she is the daughter of a wealthy property developer. Unfortunately for him, she’s actually the daughter of Sean Boyd (James Brolin), a devoted dad and grizzled ex-cop who will stop at absolutely nothing to get her back, even if it means taking out the kidnapper, his enemies in the NYPD, and the entire scuzzy underworld populating NYC.

A relentless, adrenaline packed thrill-ride, combining staggering action-packed sequences - including an "amazingly reckless, fender-mangling" car chase - with incredible photography, Night of the Juggler is outrageous, smutty, raw and unforgettable.
