Bombers B-52

One is responsible for flying the planes, while the other ensures they remain airborne. Their job descriptions do not include a requirement for them to like each other. Ever since their encounter during the Korean War, grizzled airplane mechanic Sgt. Chuck Brennan (Karl Malden) has harbored a dislike for hotshot pilot Col. Jim Herlihy (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.). Brennan's anger is further fueled when he discovers that Herlihy is dating his daughter, Natalie Wood. This gripping aerial saga delves into both the professional and personal conflicts faced by these men, who are entrusted with the task of maintaining military preparedness during an uncertain era of peace.

At the heart of this Cold War-era story is the testing of the new 200-ton B-52 Stratofortress, a crucial component of ensuring readiness in the face of potential conflict. The tensions between the two men must be set aside, as there is no room for animosity on board this massive aircraft. This flight is not without its risks, as danger lurks in the skies. In order to navigate these challenges, teamwork becomes absolutely essential.
