Flight of Legends – The Quest to Conquer the Atlantic

History 52' or 90' 2025 HD

The battle for the “Orteig Prize” for the first direct flight between New York and Paris is a race between life and death. A breathtaking drama in the name of technology, progress and national prestige in the 1920s. The public, the press and sponsors are driving the pilots to take ever greater risks in their attempt to conquer the Atlantic. Over the course of a few months, the price claims six dead and five injured. A story about favorites and outsiders, winners and losers, about legends and a lonely hero of the century: Charles Lindbergh
