Night Flight

Under the pressure of his boss, the intransigent Rivi-, the airmail pilot Fabien attempts a perilous flight during a heavy night-time thunderstorm in Argentina. As conditions get worse and the radio communication with Fabien becomes increasingly difficult, Rivi- begins to question his uncompromising methods, and his distress turns to guilt when the pilot-s wife comes to find him in search of answers.Based on Saint-Exup--s own experiences as a commercial pilot, Night Flight is a haunting and lyrical examination of duty, destiny and the individual, as well as an authentic and tragic portrayal of the intrepid early days of human air travel.
