But now, it’s what’s known as a dead river. What happened to the Salt River?

HBO premieres a 90-minute profile of Barry M. Goldwater, who rose from being a local businessman in Arizona (which was not yet a state when he was born) to become a hugely influential U.S. Senator whose 30-year career reached a crescendo with his ill-fated run for President in 1964.

The film follows that tumultuous year, as well as others in a career that encompassed numerous political and ideological triumphs. Though he never achieved the ultimate prize, the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 vindicated the conservative agenda Goldwater had long championed.

The plane, one of only three intact B-36s, dates to the dawn of the Air Force in the late 1940s. It will be reassembled at the museum, 6000 E. Valencia Road.
