Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
DESCRIPTION
In the greatest air battle of WWII, British soldiers take to the skies to fend off the German invasion of England.
This is an aviation spectacular like no other. Filled with extraordinary large-scale flying sequences and heart-stopping assaults, director Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger) pulled off a miracle bringing this film to life, a mammoth undertaking in scale and combat. Based on the real-life events from July to October 1940 and the book The Narrow Margin by Derek Wood and Derek Dempster, Academy Award-winning cinematographer Freddie Young (Lawrence of Arabia) tackled the daring undertaking of capturing these daring recreations.
An all-star cast leads us into battle, including Laurence Olivier, Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, Robert Shaw, Harry Andrews, Kenneth More, Trevor Howard, Patrick Wymark, Ian McShane, Michael Redgrave, Michael Bates, Edward Fox, Nigel Patrick, Ralph Richardson, Susannah York, and Curd Jürgens.
