(M59) Memphis Belle

A bomber goes out on its last mission over Germany. Cast includes one guy from Homicide, Stoltz, matthew modine and harry connick junior and the guy who played Rudy on the plane. on the ground is david straithairn and john lithgow the guy from life magazine who wants to make them famous for completing 25 missions and coming back home. it is a dangerous mission and because of smoke over the objective they have to circle around and come back and bomb it (never revealed how successful the bombing mission over bremen in fact was) and there is an injury to stoltz (they almost parachute him out of the plane where the germans might help him, but instead the med student does his best) and near misses (the turret bubble underneath is blown out and Rudy hangs on for dear life). they lose two engines and have trouble bringing the wheel down for landing, but they finally land.

B minus.
