With its electrifying flight sequences and high-powered cast, The Hunters
is a mesmerising film based on the best-selling novel by veteran
fighter pilot James Salter. Set during the height of the Korean War, the
story centres on Major Cleve Saville (Robert Mitchum), a master of the
newly operational F-86 Sabre fighter jets. But adept as he is at flying,
Saville's personal life takes a nosedive when he falls in love with his
wingman's (Lee Philips) beautiful wife (May Britt). To make matters
worse, Saville must cope with a loud-mouthed rookie (Robert Wagner) in a
daring rescue mission that threatens all their lives in this
well-crafted war drama.
