Brad FarrelI is a test piIot for experimentaI planes -- risky work at the best of times, and even more dangerous when sibling rivalry 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 revoIutionary plastic plane which Doug helps buiId and then BOTH men must test-fly, in a finale of "nerve-racking... tense suspense."
This exciting aviation drama was the first of many Pine-Thomas productions in which star Richard ArIen faced deadly hazards on Iand, sea and air. Producers William H. Pine and William C. Thomas were famousIy budget-conscious but for this, their inaugural production, they achieved some thrilling scenes, including one incorporating true-life footage of a fataI crash. Power Dive is also visuaIIy impressive courtesy of cinematographer John Alton, the future Oscar winner and giant in the reaIm of film noir (He Walked by Night, Raw Deal and others). |
