This film is a compendium of the facts and fiction of the events leading up to the disaster. For dramatic effect, Sabotage was chosen as the cause, rather than electricity lashing out at a couple of tons of hydrogen.

What a mind-blowing ending. I just got the movie on blu-ray at Wal-Mart, and never in my life did I expect such a shocker of an ending from a '76 picture. - @Sunday, April 2, 2017 5:23 AM

From 1:29 to 1:34 is when you can see footage in color that ended up B/W in the film. - @Thursday, February 16, 2017 6:18 PM

Some of the the black&white scenes are real historical footage they added in this movie ( they did that alot in war movies back then ) . The ending in black&white gives a deeper emotion of sadness imo . Anyway this movie is excellent because there were great actors/actresses . They dared to remake this movie but the CGI fails + they put again a love story and the colors as the acting are way too clean . - @Thursday, January 5, 2017 9:47 AM

If anyone is interested in finding a behind the scenes featurette for this film, it is likely to be in the UCLA archives. I have proof here: https://www.cinema.ucla.edu/sites/default/files/Steinhart08_ARSC_Award.pdf - @Monday, January 2, 2017 2:47 AM

Passionné d'aviation quand j'étais enfant, je me suis précipité voir ce film au cinéma surtout pour y voir le grand Roy Thinnes qui joue le rôle d'un officier de la Gestapo et dont la carrière connut alors une seconde jeunesse par la rediffusion à ce moment là de la série Les Envahisseurs où il interprétait le héros, David Vincent. - @Sunday, May 31, 2015 12:56 PM

Thank you for posting this ! I never got to see the trailer :) I wished I saw it in 70 mm it would have been spectacular ! The UK (English) copy of the DVD is very clear as Anchor Bay Entertainment ordered a new print be struck for their release ! - @Monday, May 11, 2015 1:17 PM

Old school FX work by Albert Whitlock. Stunningly done. All you CG artists out there should study this film for its artistry. He got a well deserved visual effects oscar for it. And not a pixel to be had. Learn from the classics. - @Friday, December 19, 2014 2:42 AM

Released on Christmas Day of 1975 and Directed by Robert Wise THE HINDENBURG was Universal's BIG Christmas attraction of 1975 that featured George C. Scott and Anne Bancroft in the title roles. - @Monday, December 8, 2014 10:53 PM

They advertised the cost of the movie!!!!! - @Saturday, July 27, 2013 6:36 AM

they did it's in the Laserdisc version. The DVD and VHS versions converted them to b/w. - @Thursday, May 30, 2013 9:29 AM

I can confirm the quality of the audio track on the Laserdisc release. It actually surprised me. never saw the DVD release though. Hmm. My Laserdisc player still works. Maybe I should watch it again. - @Friday, August 24, 2012 11:15 PM

This film had a brilliant 4-track mag stereo soundtrack that is preserved pretty well on the LaserDisc. The DVD doesn't sound as good. The dialog was originally panned to follow the actors but remixed for home video. I hope they fix that for a Blu-ray release. It was planned to be released in Sensurround but Midway and Rollercoaster were booked in all the Sensurround theaters, so it was standard 35mm and 70mm stereo surround. - @Sunday, July 29, 2012 10:51 PM

I only wish they would show the disaster ending in color instead of b/w. - @Monday, June 18, 2012 8:14 PM

I love these classic 1970s disaster movie trailers. This is done so well just like the "The Towering Inferno" The sound effects, the soundtrack placed so well in sinc with the film footage. It really gets you to the core! Well done! :) - @Monday, June 18, 2012 8:01 PM

I have a DVD of this movie but unlike most of my other DVD's it has no extras like this trailer, & I'm disappointed this trailer is not there. - @Saturday, November 26, 2011 5:14 PM

Am not sure. Have caught some of the Al Whitlock docs but haven't seen it shown up there. Was just remarking on the earlier scenes in color, Vogel being blown back in the tail fin after the explosion-Pruss in the control car-passengers thrown off feet in the lounge - those scenes ended up being black & white in final print. - @Monday, August 29, 2011 12:19 AM

Thank you for posting this elusive trailer! Now I don't have to dig out my projector to view the Super 8 sound release of this. Proof is here that they filmed the destruction scenes in color before draining out color to splice with newsreel footage. Next if someone can post that making-of featurette I've heard about... - @Sunday, August 28, 2011 7:18 PM
