Jet Pilot

“Exploding with all the power of the jet age... with all the passion of a daring love story!”

Colonel Jim Shannon (John Wayne), an Air Force pilot, is handed a job he never asked for: escorting a Soviet flier who says she wants to defect at the height of the Cold War. Josef von Sternberg puts Anna (Janet Leigh) in the cockpit and the ready room, a stranger whose motives nobody can settle. Jim falls for her and marries her, and then his own superiors tell him who she may really be.
