A little help?

When I read this story: “London’s Big Ben mysteriously stops ticking” I was reminded of some movie where terrorists (?) make a demand of the British government and, to signal that they’ll pay a ransom, the Brits made Big Ben ring 13 times. Anybody have the foggiest what I’m talking about? Or is it another false memory?

Follow-up: Thanks to the New England Republican, who correctly noted it was from the James Bond movie "Thunderball" and Big Ben had to strike 7 times at 6' o'clock.

It's in Thunderball (James Bond). Spector steels 2 nukes from a NATO bomber and threatens to nuke England and America.

Thanks! After I posted, I thought to myself "Was that a James Bond movie?"
