Memphis Belle
(1990)
Synopsis
This World War II drama is the fact-based story of a B-17 bomber used for a final mission before its crew, who have been together for 24 missions over enemy targets and have battled their way across the skies, can be sent back to the States. Having won fame with their exemplary war record and amazing lack of casualties, they expect their last assignment to be a cakewalk, but instead they are ordered to bomb Bremen, a heavily defended German city that will mean almost certain loss of life.
