Plot

Burt Nash is a labourer at a rocket fuel factory who is fired and beaten up by his foreman Jack Fife because he smoked a cigarette in a non-smoking area. Nash decides on revenge where he enters the rocket fuel factory by cutting through a security fence. Nash kills a guard, takes his service revolver and uses it to ignite one of the fuel tanks. He returns to obliterate the entire factory by making himself a human bomb with stolen dynamite after he abducts the wife and child of the head of the plant, Mike Brand to use as hostages. A plan is put into place where all the rocket fuel can be pumped out of the factory via a pipeline, but the process will take five hours. Brand is joined by an FBI Special Agent and a police psychiatrist to prevent the entire surrounding town from being destroyed by an inferno.
