One of William Shatner's most iconic (at least, pre-Star Trek) performances was his appearance in "The Twilight Zone" In the episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" which aired October 11, 1963, he plays a man losing his grip on reality. His character insists a creature is on the wing of his aircraft, tearing it apart. Of course, every time he manages to get someone's attention, the creature disappears. Was it just his imagination or is it real?
Twenty years later, Steven Spielberg recreated this episode in the movie version of the television show, starring John Lithgow in Shatner's role.
