    A rousing theme tune, but unfortunately things go downhill from there. Unconvincing aerial sequences (complimented by dodgy model effects), pointless love interest and an uninteresting side plot involving a distinctly italian-american looking (and sounding) "norwegian". Other fil...( read more)ms have done this type of thing much, much better.

    Some special effects seems out of date but that doesn't take anything away from the story.

    Pretty interesting and cool little flick. If you like dogfights and lots of WW2 footage this is the movie for you. The plot is slightly thin but that's not the point of the movie. This movie is all about planes, which are pretty awesome.

    Also, of note to any Star Wars fans: the ...( read more)final briefing scene and final battle scene were used shot by shot in A New Hope (admittedly by Lucas) so for that I'd suggest people should watch this. It's a very solid movie and can't recommend enough.

    Enjoyable, more than watchable, and a great performance from Cliff Robertson.
