When Soviet defector Anna (Janet Leigh) lands her plane on Colonel Shannon's (John Wayne) base, the two soon fall in love and marry. However, after it comes to light that Anna is still spying for her homeland, the couple flee to Russia, putting Shannon in danger from the Soviet authorities. Soon, Anna must choose between her love for her husband and her love for her country. Written and produced by Jules Furthman, and famous for its extended period of post-production at the hands of studio boss Howard Hughes', Jet Pilot highlights the absurdity of the Cold War, and was hailed by critic Andrew Sarris as a precursor to Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove.
