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.
