Dirk Bogarde stars as Tim Mason, the officer of a British bomber squadron in World War Two. A large-scale operation over Germany has been planned, and Tim is shocked to discover that he is not part of the team for the mission. Higher authorities think he is no longer at his best. A member of his crew is injured just before take-off, so Tim takes his place as a gunner. Those left behind are furious at him for disobeying orders, but he must face far more dangers before he can return. With Ian Hunter and Dinah Sheridan. (StudioCanal UK)

I had a great time watching this film. Even though it had just one action sequence in the air, the drama unfolding on the ground was captivating enough to keep me hooked. And let's talk about those planes — real ones, not the CGI we see everywhere today. The authentic roar of the Rolls Royce engines added so much to the experience. Plus, Roy Chadwick was responsible for Avro Lancaster. He was also behind what I think is the most beautiful bomber, the Avro Vulcan. If you're into this subject matter, you'll get a kick out of this film. My only gripe was why a plane not meant for bombing runs was loaded with bombs.
