Bill Rohan, a young boy living on the outskirts of London experiences the exhilaration of World War II, as seen through the eyes of director John Boorman, who also wrote and produced the autobiographical film.

" Date: 5/1/2019 Viewed: In Class First Viewing Note: I didn't know much about this movie to be honest and I end up really liking it a lot. I thought the acting was great and the story was very good. I really like all of the characters and I care about them a lot more than I thought I would. I can see why this movie is a major classic in British cinema. I highly recommend this movie. "
