I watched this flick because there was Steve McQueen in it. McQueen is really cool as usual but I was kind of bored during the whole thing. It is still worth a look though, especially if you love good old war movies.

Buzz Rickson is a dare-devil World War II bomber pilot with a death wish. Failing at everything not involving flying, Rickson lives for the most dangerous missions. His crew lives with this aspect of his personality only because they know he always brings them back alive.
