THE DISAPPEARANCE OF FLIGHT 412 1974 (TUBI)

A made for TV movie that is very timely today as it was then.

A four man crew of an Air Force flight spots three blips on their radar and report it. Fighter jest are sent to investigate.

The fighters disappear from the radar and the crew of flight 412 report the incident. Almost immediately they are forced to land and taken to an undisclosed location by Air Force agents.

Colonal Pete Moore (Glenn Ford) is not pleased that he is being left in the dark as to what happened to his crew. He smells a cover up and decides to investigate himself despite his friend, Major Mike Dunning (Bradford Dillman) telling him not to.

The crew is "de-briefed" by the agents, but refuse to say they saw nothing. Tempers begin to flair as the men become angry that they are being held against their will by their own men.

The dark secret the air force wants to protect is never really discussed, but Moore finds his men and takes them out. The ending is somewhat of a downer, but the viewer knows that the lid will be blown off soon.

The rest of the cast includes David Soul, Robert F. Lyons, Guy Stockwell, Ken Kerchavel and Kent Smith. Not too bad of a film really.
