Test pilot Fred (John Ericson) is in the dog house when he nearly crashes a new fighter after encountering a UFO. However, when word of a crashed UFO in Red China reaches the US, Fred finds himself back in the good books and he is recruited for a secret mission to infiltrate China and retrieve the UFO before the Chinese do.
In China, the mission led by Hank (Dan Duryea) soon bump into a Soviet team with the same mission! The US and Soviet teams form an uneasy alliance and reach the UFO. Fred and Soviet agent Anna (Lois Nettleton) warm the Cold War up a bit, meanwhile the Chinese troops are closing in...
Don't expect great special effects, and "China" looks suspiciously like the same Californian hills as hundreds of other films but this does have a very interesting premise. The action is a bit slow to get going but the final act makes up for it.
