Film Synopsis
Cone of Silence (1960) follows a veteran airline pilot whose judgment is called into question after a fatal jet crash with his co-pilot. As a formal inquiry and further investigations unfold—amid another tragedy—the truth about possible design flaws and withheld technical data comes into sharp focus. This aviation drama blends procedural tension and ethical urgency in a probing study of human error and institutional accountability.
