Denied a big budget, Jet Attack scores dramatic points by concentrating on the human side of warfare. Shot down behind enemy lines in North Korea, jet jockeys Tom (John Agar), Bill (Gregory Walcott) and Chick (Nicky Blair) link up with Russian nurse Tanya (Audrey Totter). She insists that she's on their side, and that she wants to help a captured atomic scientist escape the clutches of the Communists. Bill and Chick don't buy her story, but Tom is more flexible. After numerous narrow escapes, the survivors of the ordeal streak back to South Korea in a hijacked MIG jet. Jet Attack was originally released on a double bill with Suicide Battalion. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Humphrey Bogart stars in this improbable tale that marked Gene Tierney's return to the screen after battling mental illness for a number of years. Bogart plays Jim Carmody, an American soldier of fortune who, after crashing his plane in China, takes up with the Chinese warlord General Yang (Lee J. Cobb). Jim becomes Yang's advisor, but after watching one of the General's flunkies brutally kill a priest, Jim decides to leave. Unfortunately, Yang has declared that any deserter will be shot. Disguising himself as the slain priest, Jim sneaks out of the General's headquarters and makes his way to a mountain village where missionaries Beryl (Agnes Moorehead) and David (E.G. Marshall) take him in. Jim still is posing as the priest but his vows of celibacy are challenged when he falls in love with the attractive mission nurse Anne Scott (Gene Tierney). Anne feels ashamed because she is also attracted to him, but Jim writes to the bishop confessing that he is an impostor. At that moment, General Yang arrives, insisting that Jim rejoin his army or else he will burn down the village. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
