Sadly, the movie's a bit of a dog, tho.
They kind of ripped it off for John Travolta only a few mo. later (aren't you supposed to wait at least 1 yr. before you plagiarize?) for John Woo's "Broken Arrow" w/JT & Christian Slater:

Sadly, it's a much better movie than "Nick of Time," tho.
Awright; end-of-rant....
Since these films are from different studios (I checked the IMDb) and came out within scant months of one another, I expect that were in production at or close to the same time, and specific phrases in each script would have been unknown to the different crews.
Personal opinion, Broken Arrow was big, loud, and dumb; Nick of Time was small, frantic and suspenseful. Plus Broken Arrow's title has nothing to do with the movie.
I doubt there are any rules for plagiarism, until you get caught.
