PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Matt Brennan (HUMPHREY BOGART) knows how to open eyes to the potential of the JA-3, an experimental jet. He\u2019ll pilot it from Nome over the North Pole to Washington, D.C., and land it on the Pentagon\u2019s lap. The distance is beyond the JA-3\u2019s tested range. Nor can the craft provide the pressurization needed for flight at 80,000 feet. But Brennan has some modifications in mind. And the courage to put them to the test.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Chain Lightning <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is presented in its original 1.37 full frame aspect ratio and given a new 1080p high-definition transfer, courtesy of Warner\u2019s Archive Collection program. This is yet another homerun from them, detail is incredibly sharp and nicely defined to go along with the stark black and white presentation. The natural film grain and noise is still there and no obvious signs of artifacting, aliasing or other flaws.<\/p>\n

The disc comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track which outputs crisp and clear dialogue and some modest depth for a singular track such as when we\u2019re inside the jet or in a crowded setting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
