Twelve O'Clock High
“A story of twelve men as their women never knew them...”
WarActionDrama
In the early days of daylight bombing raids over Germany, General Frank Savage must take command of a 'hard luck' bomber group. Much of the story deals with his struggle to whip his group into a disciplined fighting unit in spite of heavy losses, and withering attacks by German fighters over their targets.
VIBE
A stark, unvarnished look at the psychological toll of war. It feels like watching weary men grapple with impossible choices, their resolve tested by relentless duty and devastating loss. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of command and the ever-present threat of the skies.
