Nella primavera del 1937, l'Hinderburg, orgoglio della Germania di Hitler, esplode dopo la sua seconda trasvolata oceanica. Il film, prendendo lo spunto da un libro di Michael M. Mooney, prospetta l'ipotesi dell'attentato da parte di un giovane antinazista, attentato che un colonnello, incaricato da Goebbels di indagare, non riesce a prevenire. Trentacinque persone, delle novantasette che erano a bordo, muoiono nel rogo. Più spettacolare che emozionante, il film è scarso in fatto di "suspence". Di maniera e poco incisiva la tipizzazione dei personaggi. suggestive, invece, le incursioni della macchina da presa nella struttura del dirigibile.

The outbreak of World War I places Scots officer Geoffrey Richter-Douglas in an uncomfortable position. Although his allegiance is to Britain, his mother was from an aristocratic Bavarian family, and he spent his summers in Germany as a child. When Geoffrey is approached by a German spy who offers him a chance to defect, he reports the incident to his superiors, but instead of arresting the spy they suggest that he accept her offer--and become an Allied agent. In Germany, among old friends, Geoffrey discovers that loyalty is more complicated than he expected, especially when he finds himself aboard the maiden voyage of a powerful new prototype Zeppelin, headed for Scotland on a secret mission that could decide the outcome of the war.

The British sought to build an "Empire in the Air," by starting their own fleet. The Germans rose from the ashes of World War I with the most successful airship ever built: the LZ-127, Graf Zepplin.
