Plots(1)
Unseen since it was pulled from circulation in 1942, this classic film, based on a novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, concerns a South American air mail delivery service. As the company's risk-taking owner callously disregards safety concerns in order to make much-needed deliveries-including the transit of polio serum to Rio de Janeiro-the lives of his pilots hang in the balance. (official distributor synopsis)
