WARNING!!! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!
This is a pretty decent thriller from the mind of Rod Serling. However, the ending looked as though it were thrown together at the last second. The idea of a bomb going off at a certain altitude was fine, but the fact that at the climax of the film a light went finally came on when he finally realized that he could land safely in Denver, which is well above the point where the bomb was set to explode. A three year old could figure the ending out. But despite this, this is still a great thriller. Rod Serling was one of the greatest writers in television and film history and this film only confirms this.
