The story

It is the mid-1930s and Germany is making rapid advances in weaponry, especially aircraft. Suspecting that a war is likely, the British War Ministry look to new and advanced inventions of their own. This film charts the work of Robert Watson-Watt, the pioneer of radar, and his hand-picked team of eccentric yet brilliant meteorologists as they abandon their initial direction to build a death ray and struggle to turn the new concept of radar into a workable reality.
