“EXCITEMENT and SUSPENSE 18,000 Feet Over the Atlantic!”

In postwar England, at a government aircraft research establishment, Theodore Honey (James Stewart) is a forgetful, rumpled engineer who lives with his young daughter Elspeth (Janette Scott). His calculations say the company's new airliner will fail after a set number of flying hours. Henry Koster follows him onto a transatlantic flight, where Honey knows exactly how many hours the plane has logged and keeps quietly counting.
