| Plot |
| France has fallen to the Nazis. Britain is next. But Hitler has to destroy the Royal Air Force first. And so, on August 13, 1940, German Stukas attack the aerodromes in the south of England. British Spitfires take off to meet the challenge. The BATTLE OF BRITAIN has begun. This is the incredible-but-true story of how the outnumbered and undermanned RAF defeated the superior forces of the Luftwaffe and changed the course of history. Highlighted by spectacular aerial combat footage and starring Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, Christopher Plummer, Ralph Richardson, Robert Shaw and Susannah York, BATTLE OF BRITAIN is a "a real cinematic achievement" - Vincent Canby, The New York Times. |
