Guerra Fría. Desde que realizaron un vuelo de prueba en la guerra de Corea (1950-1953), el sargento Chuck Brennan (Karl Malden) no le tiene ninguna simpatía al célebre piloto Jim Herlihy (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.). Ahora tiene un motivo más importante para detestarlo: Jim tiene un romance con su hija (Natalie Wood). Pero los conflictos personales o domésticos no pueden en modo alguno perturbar las relaciones entre hombres que tienen la obligación de estar preparados incluso en tiempos de paz. La puesta a punto de un nuevo avión: el Stratofortress B-52 de 200 toneladas, exige que el trabajo de equipo sea perfecto. (FILMAFFINITY)

Sensitive, club-footed artist Philip Carey is a Briton who has been studying painting in Paris for four years. His art teacher tells him his work lacks talent, so he returns to London to become a medical doctor, but his moodiness and chronic self-doubt make it difficult for him to keep up in his schoolwork.
Philip falls passionately in love with tearoom waitress Mildred Rogers, even though she is disdainful of his club foot and his obvious interest in her. Although he is attracted to the anaemic and pale-faced woman, she is manipulative and cruel toward him when he asks her for a date. Her constant response to his romantic invitations is "I don't mind", an expression so uninterested that it infuriates him – which only causes her to use it all the more. His daydreams about her distract him from his studies, and he fails his medical examinations.
