„Call To Glory” is one story of the Cuban crisis, of death, fear and the men who embarked on dangerous spy missions for the sake of their country.
It is dedicated to „the men and women of 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing,
who gave dearly, to their country in need”.
Centred around the Sarnac family, it stars Craig T. Nelson as Col. Raynor Sarnac, an
Air Force officer whose military responsibilities are often in conflict with his family’s
needs. Each day he risks his life attempting to acquire secret military information about the communist infiltration into Cuba. Sarnac must come to terms with the
repercussions such a dangerous job has on his family, and the fear they constantly feel.
When his small son witnesses a 'plane crash, it takes another tragedy before he can
speak again.
In „Call To Glory”, the hazardous tasks of the U2 pilot, dramatically photographed on
their daredevil missions, are cleverly juxtaposed with genuine film footage of Kennedy
and his speeches on the problems that faced
America during the Cuban crisis.
