One to remember

Amazing Stories: The Mission (Steven Spielberg)

A young man is given one of the most dangerous assignments of the war: belly gunner. That is just what it sounds like: a lone airman with just a couple of guns to defend him, in a round glass chamber on the bottom of the plane. He must spend the whole flight crouched in the shell, and due to the exposure of the compartment is at constant risk of becoming someone else's target.

The whole expedition is dangerous enough. Suddenly the gunner is stuck in his seat, and the landing gear are flummoxed.

It might take a miracle to save the lives of the brave men.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword. In this case, it's mightier than accidents of fate and the skills of the enemy.

Tense action and an ending that is unforgettable.
