Product: Midway (Collector's Edition) (1976)
Rating: 5.0
Great Movie
This is a very, very good movie. The Battle of the Midway is an important naval battle. It required valor of those defending the island, and smarts from those trying to lead those men in battle. This movie does a great job of capturing the valor provided by those defending the island. Pilots of torpedo bombers flew to their deaths knowingly to give others an opportunity to dive bomber pilots to sink the Japanese carrier. This took courage. Another ingredient that was needed was luck. Without some luck, the American forces would not have got to the enemy's fleet. So before valor could occur there was some luck involved. This movies captures all this with great acting, good action, and a very well written script.
