The Disappearance of Flight 412

In the disciplined world of a remote Air Force base, routine testing of advanced aircraft becomes a crucible for unseen forces. The film opens amid the hum of instrumentation and the stark desert horizon, where the ordinary rigor of radar calibration is tinged with an unsettling stillness. A methodical, almost clinical atmosphere pervades, yet the quiet is constantly punctuated by the low‑level anxiety of pilots and engineers who know that even a single glitch can spiral into something far larger.

Colonel Pete Moore commands the Whitney Radar Test Group, a unit obsessed with conquering persistent electrical anomalies that threaten their experimental jets. To isolate the problem, he assembles a four‑man crew for the fateful Flight 412: Captain Roy Bishop at the controls, supported by Lt. Tony Podryski, Captain Cliff Riggs and Lt. Ferguson. Their mission is presented with a precise, procedural eye—push the aircraft to its limits, gather data, and return. Yet the flight quickly slides from a technical exercise into a puzzling enigma when the plane’s radar picks up three unexplained blips, prompting the scramble of two fighter escorts that vanish as silently as they appeared.

A shadowy intelligence unit known only by its call sign, Digger Control, intervenes, ordering Flight 412 to land and ushering the crew into a tightly controlled environment where secrecy reigns. While the base buzzes with official explanations, Colonel Moore finds himself wrestling with the stark contrast between the official narrative and the lingering, inexplicable signals aloft. The tone remains taut and inquisitive, inviting the audience to taste the mix of military protocol, the allure of the unknown, and a single officer’s quiet resolve to uncover what really happened beyond the radar screens.
