A much-loved British classic, Michael Anderson’s 1955 drama captures the tension and bravery of an audacious raid on the centre of Nazi Germany’s industrial complex and the quintessentially English combination of inventiveness and dogged determination. Split into two distinct sections, the film first portrays the fraught but ultimately successful development of a revolutionary bouncing bomb by Dr. Barnes N. Wallis (Michael Redgrave), and then focuses on the daring British aerial mission to destroy the Ruhr Dams, highlighting both the strategic impact and the heavy human cost.
