Ted Stryker (Dana Andrews) is an ex-World War II squadron leader and fighter pilot who, 10 years after the end of the war, is still haunted by a decision he made that resulted in the death of several of his men. He's been unable to keep a job and when he gets home one day, he finds a note from his wife (Linda Darnell) saying she and their young son Joey (Ray Ferrell) are leaving him and flying to Vancouver. He manages to get on board the aircraft before it leaves but when the pilot (Elroy 'Crazy Legs' Hirsch) and co-pilot (Steve London) - along with many passengers, including his son Joey - fall severely ill due to food poisoning, Stryker is the only man on board with any flying experience, though not in multi-engine aircraft. He has to overcome his fears if he is to save the life of his loved ones and the rest of the passengers and crew.—garykmcd
