James Stewart plays aeronautical engineer Theodore Honey, the quintessential absent-minded professor: eccentric, forgetful, but brilliant. His studies show that the aircraft being manufactured by his employer has a subtle but deadly design flaw that manifests itself only after the aircraft has flown a certain number of hours. En route to a crash site to prove his theory, Honey discovers that he is aboard a plane rapidly approaching his predicted deadline.

Absolutely brilliant
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
