The Ultimate Doomsday Plane That Got Shut Down

In the 1950s, America and the Soviet Union poured billions into a technological contest that sounds like science fiction: the creation of a nuclear-powered aircraft. This documentary explores the forgotten era of "nucleomania," where engineers envisioned a world of atomic-powered trains, ships, and bombers that could stay airborne for months without refueling. From the lead-shielded cockpit of the massive Convair NB-36H to the tragic fate of Soviet test pilots who flew with unshielded reactors, we uncover why these "doomsday machines" were eventually grounded.
