“The Flight Of The Phoenix” is a great old-style Hollywood movie. A plane crashes in the African desert and the crew and passengers have to find a way to get home. Exactly the kind of movie Roddenberry would have been thinking of when he pitched TOS.
Star Trek TOS episode ‘Balance of Terror’ is basically an updated submarine movie.
That’s not a put down. They had to teach people how to watch science fiction.
