Air Power

Produced shortly after the fiftieth anniversary of powered flight, this documentary series, hosted by veteran news anchor Walter Cronkite, traced the development of flight from the Wright Brothers to the present day. In addition to the impact of air travel on society and the economy, this series also took a detailed look at the military uses of air power, from the dogfighting biplanes of the First World War, to the high powered bombers and jet fighters of the 1950's.

When the Strategic Response Unit arrives, the rules change. The bad guy is caught--he just doesn't know it yet. The SRU, inspired by Toronto's Emergency Task Force, is a handpicked team of elite cops. High risk is their business and these men and women do it all: rescue hostages, bust gangs, defuse bombs, Talk down suicidal teens, Protect the Pope. They handle state-of-the-art weapons--sniper rifles, flash-bang grenades, tasers. They climb the sides of buildings and See through walls using state of the art tech. But they're different from other SWAT teams because their arsenal also includes a gift for words, a knowledge of human intuition and an instinct for when it's time to negotiate--and when the 'solution' calls for something more. On the scene, they're in charge and no one knows their job better. SRU Constables outrank senior Inspectors--and the Inspectors don't like it. Regular uniforms grumble when pushed aside by the SRU 'prima donnas.' While secretly wishing they were in their place. It's a tough job. A job that carries the kind of pressure only your teammates--your band of brothers--can really understand. It's a stress that shades all your choices and can take a heavy toll on families, friends, lovers... These people are A-types and risk-takers. On the job, they play by the rules, bend them if they have to. But off the job, all bets are off.
