Air Force (1943)
A film of courage, camaraderie and combat. This is the story of the Mary-Ann, a B-17 bomber which leaves San Francisco for Honolulu on the day before Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor...and flies right into World War II. A gifted ensemble cast plays ordinary Americans called upon to do the extraordinary. Nominated for four Academy Awards(R)-winning one for Editing.

Command Decision (1948)

Clark Gable heads the cast in a film about the wrenching choices officers must make in time of war. Gable plays a U.S. general who realizes that Allied victory depends on destroying the Nazi's jet factories. This film is an indelible portrait of the men whose judgment holds the power of life and death.

Hell to Eternity (1960)

Tells the real-life story of Marine Guy Gabaldon (Jeffrey Hunter), a Hispanic kid from the streets of East L.A. who was raised in a Japanese-American foster family. In an astonishing true story of heroism during the Battle of Saipan, Gabaldon used his language and combat skills to convince 800 Japanese to surrender to American troops after their commander commits suicide. For this, he won the Navy Cross...and the gratitude of all America.

The Hill (1965)

A jolting tale of life and mutiny inside British military prison walls in North Africa during World War II. The inmates are soldiers who once defied, rebelled, talked back. The wardens are sadists who perpetrate cruelty in the name of discipline, forcing soldiers on the brink of collapse beyond endurance to struggle up a brutal incline known as The Hill, a manmade, torturous tower of sand seared by a white-hot sun.

36 Hours (1964)

James Garner does a heroic star turn as U.S. Major Jefferson Pike, an amnesiac who's been kidnapped by the Germans as the key player in an elaborate ruse to get him to divulge the Allied D-Day plans. The clock is ticking with the Nazis having only 36 Hours and using any means necessary to pull off their complicated plan to get the D-Day details out of Pike.

Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944)

"The Doolittle Raid" -- a true World War II event -- became the basis for this suspenseful saga about a bold mission that boosted morale in the war's bleak, early days. Spencer Tracy stars as Lt. Col. James Doolittle, who devises a plan to launch fully-loaded bomber planes from a dangerously short aircraft carrier runway. The intensive training, the daring bombing run, the subsequent forced landings in China and the perilous trek to safety: all the valiant touchstones of the true-life raid are captured in a beloved classic.
