The Hindenburg (Original screenplay for the 1975 film) by Robert Wise (director); Michael M. Mooney (book); Richard Levinson, William Link, Nelson Gidding (screenwriters); George C. Scott, Anne Bancroft, William Atherton (starring) - 1974

Universal City: Universal Studios, 1974. Final draft script for the 1975 film.

Based on Michael M. Mooney's speculative 1972 book "The Hindenburg," which posits that the German airship was sabotaged, causing the explosion in which the zeppelin became completely engulfed in 34 seconds, killing 36, as it approached Lakehurst Naval Air Station on May 6, 1937.

Colonel Franz Ritter (George C. Scott) is assigned as the chief of security aboard the doomed airship Hindenburg after the Germans receive a threat that a time bomb is aboard and finds any number of the passengers and crew suspect.
