Surprisingly flat considering the talent involved.

This 1969 big-budget extravaganza is noted for its realistic recreations of aerial WWII dogfights.

Rating: C --
An all-star ensemble cast consisting of the who's who of British films can't save the war epic from being a bore.

Rating: 1/4 --
There are so many characters we never get involved. We can't even keep them straight. The writers never solved the problem of incorporating the top-heavy special effects into their thin little plot.

Rating: 3/4 --
Succeeds in giving the general impression of a pivotal historical moment, and excels in crafting some of the most astonishing aerial-warfare sequences ever put on film. [Blu-Ray]

Description by OLDIES.com:
A powerful and colorful portrayal of an understaffed, technically inferior royal air-crew who valiantly holds off the superior forces of the German Luftwaffe. This pivotal battle of World War II could have led to the Germans winning the war. The incredible cast includes Michael Caine, Robert Shaw, Curt Jurgens, and Laurence Olivier. Based on the actual events.
Product Description:
In 1940, the Royal Air Force fights a desperate battle against the might of the Luftwaffe for control of the skies over Britain, thus preventing the Nazi invasion of Britain. -- Description provided by TMDb
