A second chanceito live. A second chanceito die.
Academy Award® nominee Rock Hudson delivers a power-house performance in this critically acclaimed suspense-thriller from director John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, Seven Days in May and three-time Emmy Award® winner).
Desperate to escape his dreary, dead-end life, aging banker Arthur Hamilton (John Randolph) succumbs to a mysterious organization's offer of a new identity and a fresh start. Surgically transformed into the handsome, young Tony Wilson (Hudson), he begins a jet-set existence among a shadowy community of similar "Reborns". But Tony's heady exhilaration spirals into a heart-stopping terror as he discovers that his newly purchased life carries a terrifying price.

A Classic Suspense Thriller!!! - 4 out of 5 (1/19/2002)
SECONDS is by far Rock Hudson's crowning performance. The film itself is very effective and could easily fall into more than one genre. It's one of those captivating films that holds your attention until the very last frame, toys with your mind, and even makes you feel a little uneasy, (which is good because many movies these days seldom get you to feel anything at all.) Director Frankenheimer, one of the kings of the suspense genre, outdoes himself with this film. Highly recommended.
