despite the ridiculous plot and this show what a very strong pair of actor ( heston and zerbe ) and a very visually arrest director ( boris sagal ) and and a strong musical talent ( ron grainer ) can do and to say the least of richard matheson who be an acknowledged wizard in the field of paranoid science fiction ( a particular genre ) . the film be gut wrench on many level and be one of my top 20 film . heston do the loner well than any other actor . grainer and who score the remarkable score for mcgoohan prisoner series and be in fine form and with an excellent score . sagal visuals be absolutely grip . zerbe be the perfect antagonist and show that his tv persona work perfectly on the silver screen . if you get the movie and turn the light down and watch it at night . youre in for a treat . many good line in this movie .
