The fascinating idea that the 1937 Hindenburg disaster might have been an act of sabotage is rather overwhelmed by an all-star cast and a Grand Hotel-style plot structure. George C Scott is the German security official with the responsibility for sniffing out sabotage on the German airship, Roy Thinnes the Nazi agent keeping an eye on him. Burgess Meredith and Rene Auberjonois are good enough as a couple of cardsharps to merit more screen time than they get.
