I need to know the name of a movie from the late 70's early 80's. It was about a black family held hostage by convicts. The Father was a preacher. They beat him with the bible. The little kid had a friend and their password for help was hotdog. It had something to do with tables turning. The family got the upperhand then lost it. Can anybody help?:(

Hmm, pretty sure I've read about this flick in one of my reference manuals--but it'll take a good amount of research to dredge it up.

Thank you!

Okay, I managed to remember enough details to hunt this down with sheer Google-fu. Your movie is Fight for Your Life (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076023/) from 1977.
