Wings of Danger was originally released in England as Dead on Course. This early Hammer Studios effort stars
Zachary Scott as an airline pilot named Van. When Van's pal Nick Talbot (
Robert Beatty) is strong-armed into aiding a gang of smugglers, it's time to take decisive action. Adventure-film veteran
John Gilling adapted the screenplay from a novel by
Elleston Trevor. Distributed in Great Britain by Exclusive Films, Ltd., Wings of Danger was released in the U.S. by Lippert Pictures. According to some sources, the U.S. version was trimmed by a couple of minutes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
