The Night My Number Came Up
12 Men and a Girl Re-Living a Dream That Fortold Disaster
Directed by Leslie Norman
Produced by Ealing Studios, Michael Balcon Productions
A tense, metaphysically unsettling thriller about fate and premonition, where a pilot's prophetic dream threatens to manifest into catastrophe during a doomed flight.
British Air Marshal Hardie is attending a party in Hong Kong when he hears of a dream, told by a pilot, in which Hardie's flight to Tokyo on a small Dakota propeller plane crashes on a Japanese beach. Hardie dismisses the dream as pure fantasy, but while he is flying to Tokyo the next day, circumstances start changing to align with the pilot's vivid vision, and it looks like the dream disaster may become a reality.
