The Arrow
television mini-series

Dan Aykroyd and Sarah Botsford star in the true story of the passion, the betrayal and the players behind the building of the stunning fighter-interceptor jet constructed to defend Canada's vast territory during the Cold War.

A brash young team of designers at Avro Aircraft and their charismatic new president, Crawford Gordon, accept the challenge of the Royal Canadian Air Force to create a radically advanced jet fighter-interceptor to defend Canada against powerful Soviet bombers capable of attacking over the North Pole. The Avro team races to break all performance records with the Arrow. But the dream begins to unravel in a dark and tragic tale of political ambition, international espionage, subversion and deceit.
