The 1954 British film "The Dam Busters" is almost documentary-like in its portrayal of the Royal Air Force's "Operation Chastise" carried out on the night of May 16, 1943, during World War II. This film details the Allied efforts to target German dams during World War Two. In very methodical, but also enthusiastic fashion, they figured out what plane, what bomb, what angle, what altitude, etc., were necessary to inflict maximum damage to the dams, while minimizing losses to the planes. The answer they came up with sounds absurd, but it worked: very large, cylindrical bombs rotating backwards at a high rate of speed, causing them, when dropped, to skip along the surface of the water, right up to the base of the dam. To blow up a dam is no easy feat, and the film details the design process of the bomb designers, as well as how the British military adopted this plan (since it sounded far-fetched at first). The film is by no means dull and is even quite exciting. It was nominated for the Best Effects award at the 28th Academy Awards and received three nominations at the 9th British Academy Film Awards for Best Film, Best British Film, and Best Screenplay.
