Al Pacino stars as Dr. Jack Gramm, a college professor who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI. When Gramm receives a death threat claiming he has only 88 minutes to live, he must use all his skills and training to narrow down the possible suspects, who include a disgruntled student, a jilted former lover, and a serial killer who is already on death row, before his time runs out.

The university scenes in the film were shot at the University of British Columbia (UBC) near Vancouver, which stood in for a fictional Northwest Washington University. It attracted much attention on campus (mainly due to Pacino's role in the film) and filming was interrupted repeatedly because of it. However, this could have been due, in part, to the fact that many integral scenes were often filmed in the busiest areas of campus during peak class hours on weekdays. It was common for students to exit buildings after class only to walk into a shooting location.

The film was released on DVD in Israel in 2006. Pirate copies of the film spread throughout the UK, South America and the US a year before the film was scheduled to be released in these countries. Release dates were halted and the film's release was moved back to 2008.
