The Disappearance of Flight 412 is a curious blend of drama, mystery, and sci-fi that really leans into the paranoia of the early '70s. Glenn Ford as Colonel Pete Moore delivers a solid performance, embodying that weary authority figure wrestling with the unknown. The atmospheric tension builds nicely, especially with the eerie radar sequences and the unsettling sense of dread that permeates the film. I appreciate the practical effects, which, while not groundbreaking, lend an authenticity to the jet sequences. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the overall sense of disorientation. There’s definitely a hint of commentary on military secrecy and the unknown, which makes it more than just a standard TV movie of the week.
