What happens
Crash Landing (aka Rescue at Sea) is a 1958 American dramatic disaster film directed by Fred F. Sears starring Gary Merrill and Nancy Davis. This was the last film in which Nancy Reagan (billed as Nancy Davis) appeared, though she continued to work in television for some years thereafter. It was one of the last films of director Fred Sears who died of a heart attack after filming completed. Crash Landing was based on Pan Am Flight 6, a real-life ditching at sea.
