The High and the Mighty

A forerunner of the big-budget Hollywood disaster films, this tale concerns a flight from Hawaii to California which runs into trouble over the Pacific when an engine fails. While the pilot prepares for a likely crash landing, the passengers caught up in the drama reassess their lives.
