A pilot is shot down over Italy and rescued by a girl who tells him about a local legend. Returning home to his loving wife, he is inspired to write an opera about the tale, but longs to meet his rescuer again.

Shot down over Italy and rescued by the resistance, RAF pilot and composer Richard Wilder (Michael Denison) forms a deep bond with the beautiful Alida (Valentina Cortese), who tells him about the legend of the Glass Mountain. After returning home to England, Richard uses the details from the tale to create an opera with the support of his loving wife, Anne (Dulcie Gray). Unable to forget Alida, however, Richard remains conflicted until the night of the opera's premiere, when fate intervenes. The film includes stunning use of Italian mountains, plus an unforgettable soundtrack. Italian baritone Tito Gobbi plays himself, while Denison and Gray were real-life husband and wife, giving extra gravitas to everything we see on screen.

Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a Formula One driver who raced in the 1990s, has a horrible crash, forcing him to retire from Formula One and start racing in other disciplines.
