From IMDb, on the film, No Highway in the Sky:
"Theodore Honey (James Stewart) is a mathematician charged with discovering what caused the crash of a "Reindeer" airliner. As he travels to investigate, he realizes en route that he's flying on the very same type of airplane. Convinced it will suffer a similar accident, he deliberately sabotages it once it lands, and soon finds himself defending his sanity in an English courtroom. Fortunately, a sympathetic actress (Marlene Dietrich) and a stewardess (Glynis Johns) come to his defense."
In the hangar, a Reindeer parked, as its tail falls off crashing onto the hangar floor, Honey realizes what he missed in his calculations.
Ladies and gentlemen, the 737 MAX crisis did not result from just a single calculation error.
The film was based on the 1948 novel "No Highway" by Nevil Shute, an English post-War novelist of significant importance.
He was an aeronautical engineer and a pilot, so knew what he was writing about.
