In the intricately woven plot, Colonel Ritter (George C. Scott), assisted by Nazi partisan Martin Vogel (Roy Thinnes), is assigned by the German government to make certain no one sabotages the Hindenburg on its way to New York. Ritter suspects everyone on board, even his good friend, a German countess (Anne Bancroft) who is vehemently opposed to the Nazi regime. Also on board are card sharks Emilio Pajetta (Burgess Meredith) and Major Napier (Rene Auberjonois), who spend the voyage trying to fleece gullible passengers. Then there is Edward Douglas (Gig Young), a nervous German-American ad executive, as well as several suspicious crew members and the stoic cocaptains Pruss (Charles Durning) and Lehmann (Richard A. Dysart). (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

I think the version that the Hindenburg disaster was caused by an assassination is very plausible, and I quite like the way this film portrays the most propriated theory of all. Wise's film does drag at times, but for most of its runtime it has momentum, fantastic visual effects (which still amaze me today, so I don't have to write "for the time"), excellent music by Shiro, and it is perfectly cast. The plot is plausible and based on practically all documented facts, and I regretted only the omission of Hugo Eckener, the "father of the Hindenburg", who appeared in the film only at the beginning, grunted that he would not fly, and nothing more.
