The Crowded Sky is a 1960 Technicolor drama film distributed by Warner Bros., produced by Michael Garrison, directed by Joseph Pevney[2] and starring Dana Andrews, Rhonda Fleming and Efrem Zimbalist Jr.[3][4] The film is based on the 1960 novel of the same name by Hank Searls.
The story follows the crew and passengers of a U.S. Navy jet and a commercial airliner carrying a full load of passengers during a bout of severe weather.[5] Other issues, such as a malfunctioning radio, render communication with air-traffic control nearly impossible and the two aircraft are on a collision course.[6]
