Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for action fans and adventure lovers. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. Fans of True Grit or Beast should feel right at home.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 18 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1952: an older pace and style.
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

Mike Wein, an Alaskan bush pilot operating the the Bering Sea area, makes friends with John W. Wetherby, posing as a wealthy United States businessman. But, in reality, he is a Russian spy on his way to Siberia carrying microfilms of the United States' defense installations.
