About The President's Plane Is Missing
When the President's plane mysteriously disappears with him on board, it is left to the seemingly weak Vice President to try to avert a nuclear exchange with the Chinese.
Directed by Daryl Duke, The President's Plane Is Missing leans on a strong ensemble — Buddy Ebsen, Peter Graves, Arthur Kennedy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1973.
