The Hindenburg
Directed by Robert Wise
This film is a compendium of the facts and fiction of the events leading up to the disaster. For dramatic effect, Sabotage was chosen as the cause, rather than electricity lashing out at a couple of tons of hydrogen.
Where to Watch The Hindenburg
- Todd DaleApril 22, 2026I guess my rating is high- I saw The Hindenburg as a little kid at the movies. Also, I am a sucker for a good/bad 1970's movie. It shared the box office that year with the legendary thriller Jaws. The New York Times described the film as "brainless" and "pricelessly funny at the wrong moments ... Yet I wouldn't have missed a single foolish frame of it. I sort of like disaster movies, even bad ones, for reasons that have to do with the special effects and with other things that probably go back to the prenatal state." That about says it all.
