Nick of Time, starring Johnny Depp, Courtney Chase and Christopher Walken, is a 1995 thriller movie about an assassination attempt. It is directed by John Badham.
The movie tells the story of Gene Watson (Depp), a mild-mannered accountant whose daughter is kidnapped when he takes her on a business trip. The kidnappers (Roma Maffia, Christopher Walken) tell Watson that they will kill his daughter unless he murders a woman depicted in a photograph. He soon learns that the woman is governor (Marsha Mason) of the state he's passing through, and realizes that assassinating her would be a suicide mission. He then must find a way to not assassinate the governor, and yet still prevent the kidnappers from killing his daughter.
The film takes place in real time (the plot is the exact duration of the film). Also, nearly the entire film takes place in and around the hotel where the governor is staying.
