Nowhere to Run is a 1978 American drama television film directed by Richard Lang, based on the 1976 novel The Blackjack Hijack by Charles Einstein.
[1] Unlucky private eye Herbie Stolz (Allen Garfield) narrates the story about an exceptional person he once met, engineer Harry Adams (David Janssen).
Trapped in a marriage which has long since turned loveless (especially as his wife Marion (Stefanie Powers) is having an affair with insurance executive Joe Anasto (Anthony Eisley)) and with the background of President Kennedy's assassination, Harry has decided to totally replace his unhappy life with a more successful one, using a system he has devised for winning money at blackjack.
While executing his blackjack plan in Las Vegas, Harry meets and falls in love with Amy Kessler (Linda Evans), a recent divorcee.
As the story nears its conclusion and as he is completing his plan, Harry decides to change his flight destination to Israel to coincide with Amy's.
