A domestic airline flight that includes a nuclear scientist among its passengers is seized by a mysterious force that makes it ascend higher and higher into the sky.
I've always enjoyed the films of producer Robert E. Kent, who managed over the course of his career to produce numerous entertaining B-movies on modest budgets, and this one is no exception. There's no big names in the cast, nor any significant special effects, but the film is engaging nonetheless, with a relevant storyline on the responsibility associated with designing weapons of mass destruction. Although the production is confined to just a few sets, taking place largely aboard the plane, the actors and script make the tension palpable, as veteran director LeBorg solidly steers the story forward. This isn't a great film, but it's a fun thriller worth your time.
