Jimmy Stewart is an absent-minded scientist who ends up on an airplane he believes will crash. When it doesn't he is made a scapegoat by the airlines and branded insane. However, a stewardess and movie star he befriended on the flight stand by him. Stewart plays the character of Theodore Honey perfectly: he has conviction for his ideas when cornered, shows pathos for his fellow passengers, love for his daughter and is completely unaware that the stewardess is falling in love with him. The story is by Nevil Shute, sort of a precursor to the science-driven stories of Michael Crichton.
