 A group of escaped convicts take over a suburban home to evade the ongoing police manhunt, making the lives of the family living there a nightmare. The longer the men stay there, the more the tensions build and the more likely it becomes a tragedy will occur. Based on a real-life hostage-taking and, interestingly, also made into another film that same year, "The Desperate Hours" starring Humphrey Bogart and Fredric March.
