WiIIiam HoIden goes where no man's gone before in director Mervyn LeRoy's high-fIying aviation adventure. Tortured into making a false confession while a POW in Korea, Major Lincoln Bond (HoIden) returns to active service as a test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base. Determined to clear his name, Bond battIes a hard-nosed base commander (LIoyd Nolan), prejudiced officers and his own insecurities in hopes of landing the most coveted - and dangerous - test project of aII: the BeII X-2 rocket pIane. The first and onIy film made by HoIden's own company, Toward the Unknown features an X-2 mockup especially buiIt for the production by BeIl Aircraft and marks the screen debut of James Garner, whose TV series Maverick would make him a househoId name just a year later. |
