Assigned to whip a Strategic Air Command base into passing muster, Air Force colonel Jim Caldwell (Rock Hudson) is fully aware that his career, let alone national security, is contingent upon his success. The pressure to perform, however, might ultimately render his relationship with his new bride (Mary Peach) as collateral damage. Stirring military drama co-stars Rod Taylor, Barry Sullivan, Kevin McCarthy, Henry Silva. 115 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
