Movie with a specific time of day?

Hi there,

Im looking for any movie in any genre (except comedy, or romance), where the main character(s) "solve" the mystery, or their problem (or simply realize that the way to solve it) is by either DOING something or BEING somewhere AT A VERY SPECIFIC TIME OF DAY.

The key word on my question is "TIME", as in "4:03 pm".

Ideally, the build up towards this realization is something of big importance on the film itself.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

National Treasure. They need to figure out a certain time of day to see where a shadow of a building will fall to further their quest.

It was in fact Jean-Claude Van Damme donning a much more insect inspired full body suit before he left the production which then led to the recasting and redesigning of the famous hunter.

perfect.

"No, the cipher was a way

And the way to read the map can be found
where the "timely shadow" crosses

Keep 'em coming if you have them.

Thanks a bunch!

the hobbit: desolation of smaug

Not sure if a specific time as in hours and minutes is mentioned there though

Yeah how do you think they got into the mountain with that key.
But no they didn't have watches. Sunset is a specific time IMO.

Thanks! but in my case I do need a specific time of day as in hours and minutes.

The Back to the Future trilogy has a few things that involve specific times.

thanks!

1:35 a.m. – Marty flees from the Libyan terrorists

This is it !
This is the answer.
It says here that a bolt of lightning...
is going to strike the clock tower
at 10:04 p.m. next Saturday night !

And don't forget all the stuff to do with the train in the third film.

Another one that comes to mind, and I used to love watching it, is Clockwise.

What about 3:15 with Casey Seimaszko? or 11:14 with Hilary Swank and Patrick Swayze?

I'm not sure whether Groundhog Day would count unless there's a bit where he's purposely trying to keep to the right time.

Around the World in 80 Days is another one.

Also, Escape from New York and L.A. involve a deadline for Snake Plissken.

will be watching those soon, thanks!

nice, nice.

Really obvious one: Labyrinth.

Also Legend I think involves a specific time for sacrificing the unicorn (sounds like a euphemism doesn't it?)

Saw and its sequels must have some specific times as well.

In Krull the heroes need to reach the Beast's Black Fortress before it relocates to another part of the planet at sunrise.

The first Indiana Jones movie has them waiting for the sun rise to point through the round disk to the location of the Ark.
