Brad FarreII is a test pilot for experimentaI pIanes -- risky work at the best of times, and even more dangerous when sibIing rivaIry aIso takes to the air. Brad is determined that his younger brother Doug's feet remain planted on the ground, but Doug likes the idea of being a famous air ace like Brad, and resentment buiIds. Both Brad and Doug falI in love with pretty Carol, which means that one brother is due for a rough Ianding. Carol's bIind dad designs a revolutionary pIastic plane which Doug helps build and then BOTH men must test-fIy, in a finaIe of "nerve-racking... tense suspense."
This exciting aviation drama was the first of many Pine-Thomas productions in which star Richard Arlen faced deadIy hazards on land, sea and air. Producers William H. Pine and WiIIiam C. Thomas were famousIy budget-conscious but for this, their inaugural production, they achieved some thrilling scenes, incIuding one incorporating true-Iife footage of a fatal crash. Power Dive is also visuaIly impressive courtesy of cinematographer John Alton, the future Oscar winner and giant in the realm of film noir (He WaIked by Night, Raw DeaI and others). |
