A 1960s sci-fi premise about a pilot thrust into a dying future civilization that wants to use him for breeding, blending paranoia, romance, and existential stakes in a sealed underground world.

In 1960, a pilot testing an experimental rocket powered aircraft accidentally flies into the future and finds himself in a sealed city whose people suspect he is a spy from outside their walls, but who want to keep him to procreate with the ruler's daughter because the majority of the inhabitants are sterile.
