Captain Gort (Bernard Lee) is an airline pilot who must answer to a Court of Inquiry after the
crash of a Phoenix jet. Although he passes a battery of tests, pilot error is the determined
cause of the accident. Sir Hobbes (George Sanders) is the Queen's council whose
relentless prosecution helps blame Gort. When a second crash occurs, Gort is defended by
Captain Judd (Peter Cushing), who is convinced that mechanical malfunctions, not the pilot,
caused both crashes.
