Adaptations in Other Media
Stewart and Dietrich, along with a full cast, reprised their roles on the CBS Lux Radio Theatre’s adaptation of the film on 21 April 1952, before a live studio audience.
Its theme, of a concerned airline passenger having unique knowledge of an imminent danger; taking drastic action to eliminate it; then being regarded as insane, is comparable to that of The Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. An additional similarity to the 1983 Twilight Zone movie is that the character of John Lithgow, like that of James Stewart, is portrayed as an engineering expert.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
