Post-World War II Berlin was divided into sectors, and in 1948 the Soviet Union blockaded the allied sector with the intent of taking over all of Berlin. The Berlin airlift was the response, and this is the story of that major event as seen through the eyes of two Air Force Sergeants (Montgomery Clift and Paul Douglas). Shot entirely on location in West Berlin, much of the actual conditions were captured in this film–making it, in reality, a semi-documentary.
