This grand war film is produced by an elite group from the British film industry, striving to recreate an important piece of history of their homeland during World War II. The film depicts in a documentary-drama style the German Nazis' airstrike on densely populated British cities in 1940, which caused heavy losses for Britain but also ignited the spirit of resistance among the British people against Germany, especially the pilots of the Royal Air Force who eagerly rushed to counterattack. The aerial scenes featuring fighter planes are spectacular and realistic, delivering a stunning effect. Among the many shining stars, Michael Caine and Kenneth Moore have significant roles, while Susannah York gives a romantic performance as the wife of a pilot. Additionally, Laurence Olivier impressively plays a tactically skilled knight.
