Hi

It sounds very like Goliath Awaits http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082461/

Though Peter Cushing wan't in it Christopher Lee and John Carradine were.

just got your reply and want to say thanks very much.this is the film i was looking for.
as you were so good at the last query i was wondering if you knew this one.again a film i saw when i was a kid.a group of kids and possibly lady who may be their teacher get hijacked on their schoolbus and are held captive somewhere.they then start to fight against their kidnappers to try and escape etc etc.i have a feeling that it might have been set in australia.
anyway thanks again for your help.its much appreciated

Hi, I was just reading on the Shock Waves boards and saw your query about the school teacher and kids being kidnapped.
**SPOILERS**




Fortress with Rachel Ward is probably the movie you are looking for, but they are taken from their classroom and put in a van the kidnappers brought. From there they take them to a cave and leave them. They find a way to escape but keep meeting up w/ their capturers. They do fight back against them finally. It does take place in Australia. It plays on cable quite often and holds up well for being an 80's movie. Hope this helps!
