Experience the remarkably detailed true story of "The Doolittle Raid," based on the personal account of Doolittle Raider Ted Lawson. After the shock of Pearl Harbor and a series of defeats, America desperately needed a victory. Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, a former air racer and stunt pilot, devises a daring plan to strike at the heart of Japan. He trains Army bomber pilots to achieve the impossible: launch 16 fully loaded bombers from an aircraft carrier. Praised for its accuracy, the film even incorporates footage from the actual raid.
