    The movie is about the career of a baseball player who is brought back to Serve out the remainder of his career in the Strategic Air Command during the Cold War. It shows the sacrifices of those who served and their fanilies. It also provides footage of actual Air Force aircraft, especially the B-36 bomber. There are no bonus features only English subtitles.

    I am impressed with the Blu-Ray version of SAC. My grandson is flying in the Civil Air Patrol and he really liked it. In fact he was able to name a number of the non-bomber plane models. The sky scenes from the bombers was thrilling. We recommend this movie.

    This is another one of those fifties military movies which looked great in blu-ray format. It stars Jimmy Stewart and has some fantastic flying scenes with the B-36 and B-47 bombers. If you like military movies you will want to add this to your collection.

    Olive produced this Blu Ray. Their earlier track record for BD transfer were once hit or miss. But that's been rapidly changing with their newer titles. Make no mistake, this review is not about the film's plot. This review is strictly about the quality of the picture. VistaVision can be a jaw-dropping experience if restored or transferred properly to a Blu Ray Disc. And this one delivers. It's not just VistaVision, its also in Technicolor, as well. A format long gone, but perfectly replicated and represented for your home screen. If done right, it can be a real treat. And this BD from Olive scores a Home-Run.

    I watched this movie the first time with my father. Originally I didn't realize it was based upon the life of a real baseball player. I think that is neat. It is interesting to see what kinds of things that the people in SAC endured to keep our country safe. Great old movie to watch and enjoyable!

    My husband flew with the SAC for many years so my enjoyment of this film was great - I can watch it over and over and never tire of seeing in again. Jimmy Stewart brings it all to life - a must see....

    Great acting & story line depicting a great Drama of SAC protecting our country. The long hours , physical exhaustion, elements, & lovers quarrels arising from training for what we all hope will never happen!

    I would rate this movie 3 stars out of 4 with Jimmy bumping it up from 2/12. He is excellent as usual & the flying scenes are terrific. The picture drags when it is on the ground. Not one of Stewart's or Anthony Mann's better efforts but still worthwhile.

    This is the second movie I've seen with Allyson and Stewart as leading couple and honestly the second best. The aerial photography is superb and all, but the home scenes are stilted and conventional. Ultimately it's yet another worried wife of a hero at home narrative. The release is average at best. No special features except for the trailer. But I will give it 3 for an excellent transfer.
