    Track down a film by description
    Ok, I'm trying to find the title of a movie I saw on TV many years ago. The plot is similar to Judgement Night (Emilio Estevez) but I believe was a lot earlier probably 70's maybe 80s It starts with a Dennis Weaver lookalike (could have been him, but I can't find it among his filmography) in an unfamiliar area on business. He leaves his car in a secure carpark, and when he returns it's been locked up for the night. The area very quickly becomes unfriendly, and the main character ends up being chased by gang members. He manages to outwit his pursuers and makes it to the morning, when the whole area returns to normal.

    I remember it being a fantastic film, but I can't for the life of me remember the title. Any help GREATLY apreciated!

    Many thanks

    Don't think this is it... but it might be Final Jeopardy with Richard Thomas. But something's bugging me and I think there was a '70s TV movie on this theme.

    ETA: Ugh, Quinn beat me to it by a minute!
