|
Воссоздание на экране одиночного полета Чарлза Эй. Линдберга в 1927 году из Нью-Йорка в Париж. Джеймс Стюарт - в роли отважного пилота. Сюжет воспроизводит автобиографию Линдберга. Работая авиапочтальоном, отважный пилот мечтал в одиночку перелететь через Атлантику. До него этого не делал никто. Для осуществления своей мечты он ищет спонсоров, и после больших трудов находит сочувствующую группу в Сент-Луисе, штат Миссури. По его заказу для полета строят специальный самолет, получивший название "Дух Сент-Луиса". В день вылета из Нью-Йорка Линдберг вынужден был долго ждать, пока кончится дождь… Полет проходил в очень сложных условиях. Это очень хорошо рассказанная история. Джеймс Стюарт искренен и внимателен при создании образа одного из величайших героев авиации 20-х годов. Хотя, возможно, настоящей звездой картины следует назвать замечательную музыку Ваксмана...
Biography of Charles Lindburgh from his days of precarious mail runs in aviation's infancy to his design of a small transatlantic plane and the vicissitudes of its takeoff and epochal flight from New York to Paris in 1927. |
On the night before his epic solo flight across the Atlantic, Charles Lindberg (James Stewart) lies awake in his hotel bed, worrying about his chances. Will he have enough fuel? Will he even be able to take off? Rain falls outside his window, dimming the chances for an early start. Time is short, and Lindberg knows he must make his attempt soon, because there are others trying to make the same flight.
Tossing and turning, he thinks back to the events that led him here. Once, flying airmail for the Army, his plane failed in a Midwest blizzard, and after bailing out, he had to find his way through the dark and take a train to his destination. Lindberg was no stranger to the dangers of flight, but his faith in its capabilities was unshakable, and a dream formed in his mind: he wanted to do something remarkable, something that would show people what airplanes could really do.
Back at his home base in St. Louis, he calls a New York aircraft builder to get a quote on a special plane. One that can make a very long distance flight: New York to Paris, non-stop. Lindberg next sets out to raise the money needed to buy it, and manages to get several St. Louis businessmen interested. They like the idea, and they see its value, but aren't sure about Lindberg's chances. Is he really sure he can do this? He convinces them that he can, and the name "The Spirit of St. Louis" is coined for the project.
Lindberg travels to New York to purchase the special plane, but the deal falls through and he returns home, discouraged. Another possible builder is found however, and Lindberg is off to California to see the small Ryan Aircraft Co. He locates the sleepy little factory and finds the firm's president Frank Mahoney (Bartlett Robinson) frying fish with a torch. Amused, Lindberg makes the deal, and they all get to work. In a few weeks, a little silver plane has taken shape, and Lindberg takes it up for testing. Satisfied, he heads back to St. Louis, but learns that another team has taken off from Paris and is trying to make it to New York. It seems as if Lindberg is too late.
Landing in St. Louis, he finds that the Frenchmen never arrived. Their attempt has failed, and they're probably dead. Against further misgivings from his backers, Lindberg pushes on to New York to make his attempt but finds the weather has turned bad, and he's delayed days waiting for the rain to clear. So now he waits, laying in a hotel bed, unable to sleep.
Finally giving up, he rises and prepares to leave. The weather forcast is improving, and Lindberg want to get away at the earliest possible moment. Frank Mahoney has come to help him, and together they drive out to the muddy airfield in the predawn dark, prepare the plane, and get ready to leave. A crowd of spectators has gathered to see Lindberg, and they all walk out to the runway to watch. A marker has been placed down the runway to mark the point where Lindberg must become airborn if he is to clear the trees at the end of the runway. The engine is fired, Lindberg climbs into the cockpit, nervously shakes hands with Mahoney, and says "Well, I might as well go."
Gunning the engine, the ground crew struggle to push the fully loaded plane forward through the mud. Slowly picking up speed, Lindberg fights to keep going straight, and the ground crew fall back; he's on his own now. Bouncing and sloshing through the mud, the plane struggles to get into the air, but can't get enough speed. The marker flashes past but he's still not airborne, and when it seems far too late Lindberg manages to lift sluggisly into the air. Scraping the treetops, he avoids an almost certain crash and clears the field. Lindberg is finally on his way.
Soon he is able to relax and settle into his routine, monitoring fuel and checking the map. However, after only a few hours he's exhausted, realizing he'd wasted last night in that bed. Now he faces a 30-hour-plus flight, all of this day and night and probably most of tomorrow. Fighting off drowzyness he continues to reminisce about the past, recalling other adventures: barnstorming, flying with an aerial circus, giving hair-raising flying lessons to a priest who had absolutely no talent for flight at all. As the day passes he flies along the coast of Newfoundland, reaching St. Johns before dark, and setting out over the trackless expanse of the North Atlantic.
Fighting off sleep, he forces himself to stay awake through the night, but fails to notice that ice is building up on his wings; a deadly situation. The plane shudders and begins to lose altitude, shaking Lindberg awake. Unable to keep the plane flying, he prepares to ditch, but as he skims the waves, the warmer air near the surface melts the ice, shearing it off. Given a second chance, Lindberg struggles on.
As dawn comes, a bleary-eyed Lindberg searches out over the waves for any signs of land. Having gone off couse during the fight against the ice, he had no real idea of where he is. Hours pass. Deliriously tired, he sees white specks in the distance, and flying closer finds that they are seagulls. It's an encouraging sign. Next he spots a fishing boat and flies circles around it, cutting his engine and yelling at the astonished fisherman, "Which way to Ireland?" Getting no reply, Lindberg flies on.
Finally, he spots green shapes rising out of the sea, and these form into rocks and hills as he draws closer. Where is he? Iceland? North Africa? Checking the map, he is overjoyed to find that it is indeed the coast of Ireland, and he's very nearly on course after all. Waving happily to people as he finally passes over green land again, he turns southeast toward France.
Passing over the French coast as night falls again, he follows the Seine River toward Paris, reaching the City of Light well after dark. Having pushed himself beyond all endurance, he is desparate to land, to get back on the ground again. The lights are confusing, and he's got to find the airport; he can't feel anything, and can't control the airplane any longer. Coming in at what he can only hope is the right direction, his wheels finally touch the ground of France. Coasting to a stop at the dark end of the airfield, he manages to reach up and cut the engine off, ending his flight. Lindberg has done it.
He is amazed to find a massive crowd rushing towards him. He pulled from the plane by ecstatic Parisians, who give him a hero's welcome and carry him off on their shoulders. Charles A. Lindberg has become the biggest hero of his time.
