I Aim at the Stars examines the controversial life of Dr. Wernher von Braun (Curd Jürgens), one of the most brilliant and enigmatic figures of the space age. During World War Il, von Braun developed the deadly V-2 rocket, a key weapon for the Germans in their attacks on London. But after the war, he was recruited by the United States to help them develop their Cold War satellite program. Accusations of Nazi sympathies and angry attacks by those who suffered from his rockets dog von Braun, who repeatedly maintains that he was forced to work for the Third Reich or suffer the consequences.
