Man has conquered the heavens, now man must conquer the only domain left to him... The icy lands of the Arctic.
Jack Holt and Ralph Graves star as the dominant men of the air. They are asked to assist an English explorer who wishes to make it to the South Pole. The movie focuses around the drama of the two men, the wife of one of the men who's afraid that her husband will die on one of his great exhibitions. Will they make it to the South Pole? Will friendships be broken? Is there a black wise man somewhere within the movie.
You've got to love that magical time when airships looked like the future of Aviation. Before all the various blimp disasters that will come about in about 5 to 10 years and the second world war that completely put them out of commission is anything worthwhile.
Surprisingly good pasting for an 80 year old film and the US Navy had some personal involvement as they had their actual blimps flying around for the film.
