Discussion of "Fourteen Hours"

Fourteen Hours (1951) is a taut, suspenseful drama that chronicles the true-to-life events of a single day in New York City. The film begins with a simple act: a young man, Robert Cosick (Basehart), steps out onto the ledge of a 15th-floor hotel window. This action sets in motion a high-stakes, real-time crisis that captivates the entire city. Down on the street, a crowd of thousands gathers, turning the private tragedy into a public spectacle. The media, including newspapers and early television crews, descend upon the scene, while police and emergency services race to save the man's life.
