Dark City

Charlton Heston stars in his first major motion picture as the tortured Danny in "Dark City" (1950). Danny and his broke buddies stage a poker game to take rich sucker Arthur for some dough, but when one of the men marks the cards, Arthur loses everything- including money that wasn't his to lose - and commits suicide. When the gambling buddies find one of their own hanged, they realize that Arthur's psychopathic brother is stalking them and determined to squeeze the life out of them one by one.
