Synopsis

The High and the Mighty (1954) box art On a flight from Honolulu to San Francisco, a plane develops engine trouble, and it falls to steady, controlled co-pilot Dan Roman (John Wayne) to land the craft safely when smug pilot John Sullivan (Robert Stack) loses his nerve. Meanwhile, the 22 passengers aboard take stock of their lives in William Wellman's tautly directed graddaddy of airplen disaster movies, which bagged an Oscar for the film's haunting score.
