really it a dreadful cheat of a film . it 70 minute run time be very well pad with stock footage . the rest be non descript exterior and drab interior scene . the plot exposition be very poorly render . they be all just perfunctory scene sort of strung together . there be no attempt at drama in scene selection but rather drama be communicate by the intensity of the actor . please do not ask . the plot concern a rocket radiate a million degree heat orbit earth five mile up threaten to destroy the earth . it a real time menace that must be divert if a custom build h bomb can be fashion and place in an experimental rocket within an hour . nothing very much here to report except for a mad speech by a scientist against the project because there might be some sort of life aboard and think of the scientific possibility but this speech make by the obligatory idiot liberal be pretty much passé by then . what save this film and somewhat uniquely and be the stock footage . i have never see a large selection of fifty jet fighter aircraft in any other film . this be by no mean a complete list but just some of the aircraft i manage to see . there a brief interception by a pilot fly and in alternate shot and an f 89 scorpion and an f 86. first to scramble interceptor be the royal canadian air force in hawker hunter and f 86 sabre jet ( or canadian build cf 13 ) and even a pair of cf 100 clunk . then for some reason there be b 52s and b 47s and even b36s be see take off . more padding . these canadian jet be move at 1200 mile an hour . i do not think so since one of them appear to be a ww2 era gloster meteor and the rest f 80 . the meteor press the attack and one turn into a late f 84f with a flight of early straight wing f 84s attack in formation . there a strange tandem cockpit version of the f 80 that doesn not seem to be the t 33 training type but some sort of interim all weather interceptor variant with radar in the nose . these be scramble in a snowstorm . an angled deck aircraft carrier be see from about 500 meter . it launch f 8u crusader and f 11f tiger and a 5 vigilante and a 3 skywarriors . the air force scramble f 86s and f 84s and more f 89s then you have ever see in your life as well a f 100 super sabre and f 102 delta dagger . the f 100 press their attack with sooooo much padding . the f 89 unload their rocket in their wingtip pod in slo mo . the f 86s fire and an f 102 let loose a falcon and even some f 80 ( f 94s . ) with mid wing rocket pod let loose . there be a very strange shot of a late model f 84 ( prototype . ) with a straight wing early model f 85 above it in a turn and obviously a manufacturer ( republic aviation ) advertising film show the difference between the old and the new improved model of the f 84 thunderjet . how it stray into here be anybodies guess . there be other great stock footage of ottawa in the old day when the capital of canada be a wide spot in the road and especially wonderful footage of new york city time square during one of the civil defense drill in the early 50 . i think we also have to deal with the notion that this be film in canada with the possible exception of the auto chase see late in the picture a the pacific seem to be in the background . the use of a jowett jupiter be somewhat mind boggling and there be a nice tr 3 to be see also . canada must have be cheap and it be rather gratuitously use a lot in the background . as far a the actual narrative of the film there be little to recommend it other than the mystery of just who ellen parker be give the finger to at the end of the picture . and she most definitely be flip someone off . could it be and r a in robert loggia . the director who die before this film be release . her career a this be her last credit . it like the newspaper the gift come wrap in be more valuable than the gift .
