      Reviews 14% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score When Navy pilot Dale Heath (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) takes off, he doesn't expect his navigational equipment to fail, and must adapt when it goes out along with his radio.

Subplots including Barnett's co-pilot Mike's (John Kerr) relationship with a flight attendant (Anne Francis), buoy this tense airborne thriller.

      Audience Member Bad acting and a sometimes humorous plot (unintentional) buoy interest in this soap opera disaster movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Overwrought and with clunky special effects this is a still entertaining precusor to Airport and all it's many follow-ups.

      Kimberly Pierce Ticklish Business All in all, The Crowded Sky is far from the best entry into the rather prolific Airplane in Trouble sub-genre... (its) script finds itself confused as to what exactly it wants to be. Is it a soap opera? Is this a disaster film? No one really knows. Rated: 2/5 Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine The jet age again, this time in a Hollywood opus that takes far too long to reach its exciting climax.
