This large-scale war film is crafted by a group of elite British filmmakers, striving to recreate an important chapter of their homeland's history during World War II. The film portrays, in a documentary-drama style, the German Nazis' air raids on densely populated British cities in 1940, which caused significant losses for Britain but also galvanized the British people to unite against Germany, especially the Royal Air Force pilots who eagerly took to the skies to retaliate. The aerial bombardment scenes, filled with fighter planes, are spectacular and realistic, leaving a profound impact. Among the stellar cast, Michael Caine and Kenneth More have significant roles, while Susannah York impresses as the wife of a pilot with a romantic performance. Additionally, Laurence Olivier's portrayal of a tactically adept sir is remarkable.
