A bomber on board an airplane, an airport almost closed by snow, and various personal problems of the people involved.

For an entry in the action/thriller category, the pacing here is painfully slow. Filled with a star-studded cast, there is far too much back-story, and not enough cinematic foreshadowing of the impending doom. I understand this story is based on a best-selling novel at the time (1970), and that I'm evaluating this with 2025 sensibilities and attention-span, but the build-up to the big reveal of the threat here is yawn-inducing. Perhaps if Hitchcock had directed this, we may have gotten more drama and a more satisfying simmering of psychological excitement, but--to me--this mooophie commits the ultimate sin: it's boring.
