Comment/Synopsis

This is a mixture of fiction and fact recounting the last journey of the airship Hindenburg. It has the ususal cast of characters of a disaster film and the plot revolves around the idea that the air ship was sabotaged. The story drags a bit in places but the internal shot of the ship give a good feel of the oppulence of the Hindemburg and the final climax of the film as the airship explodes is visually impressive. The film is based on the book by Michael Mooney.
