Even the Disaster movies already had drained and the audience no longer were interested in this kind of genre, the king of disasters Irwin Allen didn't give up, he has stakes higher sum of money in TV movie supported by Warner Bros. Television about a huge Aireal Tramway stuck by a lightning on the highest dangerous spot upon steel cable about to be break, so he teamed up his old crew-employees as Arthur Weiss as production executive, his costumary collaborator Richard La Salle providing the music score and his old buddy for costume designer Paul Zastupnevich, also bringing some actors and actress who he used worked with in several past-productions as Cameron Mitchell, Paul Fix, Deanna Lund, Steve Marlo and Paul Carr.
The overlong picture split in two parts, a surreal storyline about a rotten Uptowners private club of successful couples as the inheritor of a wealthy father the boozer Alan Durant (Bert Convy) who dreams get back his former girlfriend Ellen Craig (Donna Mills) married with a brainy engineer Paul Craig (Sam Groom), in other hand Jim Grainger (Burr DeBenning) who lives blessing by Alan Durant's support, having in dire straits with his wife Sue Grainger (Patty Duke Astin) due his disloyalty and at last the schemer Eddie Minton (Oliver Clark) and his bleak past with his wife Anita Minton (Joyce Bulifant) just to sumarize a long melodramatic-disaster offering, told by flashbacks.
When these couple taking a trip in a higher Aerial Tramway in a storming day, it all together is a full plate for Irwin Allen's conceptive picture, all kind of oddities will going to happen like it or not, how a possibility even remote that a lightning will strikes at exact point of wheel and the cable at same time? One million per one? Wrong at Irwin Allen's mind just on the third time is enough, granted, now the Aerial Tramway is stuck at higher spot, plus also the rescue car is unable by electric failure, to worsening someone intents to kill Paul Craig by he be a squealer of a fraudulent supplies of steel plates to US's Army, could it be worst, just watch by yourself if have a nerve to stand awake for three hours and fifteen minutes long.
