North Africa, World War II. British soldiers on the brink of collapse push beyond endurance to struggle up a brutal incline. It's not a military objective.

萨缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治的这首叙事诗由于加入了模拟的还有真实的一些图像，又重新焕发了生机，这些图像也给了这首名作新的令人惊喜的特色。这部在视觉上意义重大的电影大作是由Michael Redgrave爵士担任旁白，用启发性的语音述说这一文学经典。整部作品分两部分表现。第一部分是萨缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治的自传，记述了他无依无靠的童年，以及他在18世纪的英国尝试练马师的工作却一事无成的经历。影片还记述了他染上鸦片和他一些简要的经历，还包括了他，威廉姆和华兹华斯三人间的友谊。正是受这几位好友的启发，柯勒律治写了《老水手之歌》。第二部分独树一帜地把柯勒律治的诗形象化，引领我们进行了一次陌生孤独的航海旅行，时间和空间在旅行中似乎都变得如想象一般自由不受限制。

Amongst those listening is Air Marshal Hardie who is due to fly to Tokyo the next day. Hardie initially dismisses the dream because he is scheduled to fly out in a Liberator, but as Hardie arrives at the airport he discovers that the Liberator has developed mechanical problems and has been replaced by a Dakota. When, just before the flight is due to depart, two soldiers board the plane making a complement of eight, Hardie fears that the Dream may be coming true and he is destined to die.
