action
Six men are in the process of developing and testing a new ejection seat for the Air Force: the doctor Irving Goldman, the German engineer Franz Reinach, Major Paul Peterson, Captain Michael Cavallero, Lieutenant Edward Simmons and Colonel William Hughes, the head of the group. This orders that Cavallero should first be used as a test person on the other day. If something happens to him, Simmons will come next. Peterson is annoyed about this because he thinks the Colonel no longer trusts him.
When Peterson tries to explain to his wife why he shouldn't be used as a test person, he suddenly feels a certain relief that Hughes has released him from this dangerous task. But Carol Peterson, who has always resisted her husband's ventures, also notices his indecision and insecurity. And there is also the little son Kit, who already saw his father as a great hero, and now with his endless questioning does not lift the mood in the Peterson house either.
The next day, Cavallero sustained a serious back injury during the test because his parachute opened too early. Simmons now believes that Franz Reinach is to blame for the misery, but he claims that Cavallero must have panicked and, as a result, pulled the rip cord too early. Like a bolt from the blue, Simmons falls ill with appendicitis that requires immediate surgery. Now only Peterson remains for the test. The night before the attempt, he is plagued by bad nightmares . Carol feels that something is wrong with him. She secretly sneaks out of the house and seeks the Colonel. She asks him to release her husband from the task. Hughes only thinks that Peterson must decide this himself.
When Peterson arrives at the airport the next day, he finds his supervisor already in the ejection seat. He asks him to him to have to carry out the experiment; otherwise he would lose respect for himself. Hughes granted him the request. When the airman reached 43,000 feet , Peterson's ejector seat was disengaged. After falling six miles , the parachute will open. The test was successful. At the airport, Peterson is proudly welcomed by his wife and son Kit.
criticism
The lexicon of international films draws the following conclusion: "Mediocre, but relatively matter-of-factly staged action film with a patriotic tenor."
