The virile Warner Bros. programmer Steel Against the Sky stars Lloyd Nolan and Craig Stevens as steelworkers Rocky and Chuck Evans. Already on the outs due to a few on-the-job mishaps, Chuck gets further in dutch with his family when he falls in love with Rocky's girl Helen (Alexis Smith). The plot is secondary to the film's bridge-building sequences, breathtakingly photographed by Edmund Grainger. Steel Against the Sky was essentially a showcase for two of Warners' newest contractee, Craig Stevens and Alexis Smith. Their professional relationship quickly deepened into something else, and within a few years the two young contractees were husband and wife, which they remained until Smith's death in 1989.
