(1959) Jet Storm PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER DRAMA SUSPENSE

32 passengers arriving and entering on a plane flying from London to New York City. From the opening what looked like several different passengers with several different characteristics from a young couple to older couple to middle age, similar to 1932 "Grand Hotel" interacting with one another. All is well what appear to be a routine flight flying over sea until two different passengers Mrs. Emma Morgan (Sybil Thorndike) and Binky Meadows (Harry Secombe) sitting behind a couple overhearing a man, Ernest Tilley (Richard Attenborough) telling his wife, Carol Tilley (Mai Zetterling) wanting revenge against one persons actions taking his grievances to the rest of the passengers. And by the time the captain of the plane Capt. Barlow went to have a talk with him it was soon discovered that he planted a bomb somewhere onto the plane, without any indication on where or how it was going to explode, creating mixed emotions amongst the passengers. And that it was the result of a single person who was not held accountable for killing Ernest Tilley's baby daughter. Putting the plane as well as the rest of the passengers in a complicated situation as they are flying ever sea.

Although the ending was predictable, the interactions between the passengers because each one of them have different traits and so forth...were interesting as their reactions to hearing about a bomb threat, and the way both captain and the stewardess attempt to find solutions to resolving that conflict.
