Based on the true story of the Avro Arrow, this film tells of the passion, the betrayal and the players behind the building of the stunning fighter-interceptor jet.
"The Arrow tells the story of the passion, the betrayal and the players behind the building of the stunning fighter-interceptor jet constructed to defend Canada's vast territory during the Cold War. Cost over-runs, U.S. government intervention and Canadian political agendas grounded the Arrow before it had a fighting chance. A brash, young team of designers at Avro Aircraft and their charismatic new president, Crawford Gordon, accept the RCAF challenge to create a radically advanced jet fighter-interceptor to defend Canada against powerful Soviet nuclear bombers capable of attacking over the North Pole. The Avro team races to break all performance records with the Arrow. But the dream begins to unravel in a dark and tragic tale of political ambition, international espionage, subversion and deceit."--Container. Drama inspired by real events.
