THE NET is a rather stodgy potboiler from 1953 looking at a supersonic aircraft and attempts to get it working. The project is assailed by both technical limitations as well as sabotage from the inside, but most of all this is a character piece in which future QUATERMASS AND THE PIT actor James Donald displays his resolve in the face of adversity. It's rather a slow-moving affair and not particularly engaging; fun comes from supporting cast members like Noel Willman and Herbert Lom, but they have very little to work with.
