Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Despite the familiar ingredients of storm and air crash, this film creates little or no suspense – particularly since the rescue plan goes "according to the book". It is altogether an unusually platitudinous affair, and some of the dialogue – particularly that assigned to the two women in the cast – verges on the ludicrous."[3]
