This film presents the story of flight and of man's reach for a new freedom through aviation and the exploration of space. From the Wright Brothers flight at Kitty Hawk to the landing on the Moon and future missions to the planets, the film depicts the fulfillment of the ancient dream of flight. Through the use of multiple images, the creative role of research is emphasized. Voices of scientists and statements by writers, poets, and philosophers document man's search for knowledge. The film is narrated by Burgess Meredith.
