Playing a co-pilot who saves the day, which Wayne film is about a trans-Pacific flight gone wrong?

Directed by William A. Wellman, 1954's The High and the Mighty is one of the first of its kind when it comes to "disaster movies". Wayne stars as the co-pilot who saves the day when the main pilot's fraught nerves put him out for the count while navigating an engine failure. The film earned six Oscar nominations, although none were for Best Actor or Best Picture.
