Overview

British Air Marshal Hardie is attending a party in Hong Kong when he hears of a dream, told by a pilot, in which Hardie's flight to Tokyo on a small Dakota propeller plane crashes on a Japanese beach. Hardie dismisses the dream as pure fantasy, but while he is flying to Tokyo the next day, circumstances start changing to align with the pilot's vivid vision, and it looks like the dream disaster may become a reality.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut cat-and-mouse with destiny as the real antagonist: a premonition of disaster slowly unfolds in real time during a doomed flight, creating mounting dread as each eerie coincidence brings the nightmare closer to truth. Grounded in post-war realism but electrified by the supernatural uncanniness of the inexorable.
