The amazingly detailed true story of “The Doolittle Raid” based on the personal account by Doolittle Raider Ted Lawson. Stunned by Pearl Harbor and a string of defeats, America needed a victory – badly. To that end, Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, a former air racer and stunt pilot, devises a plan for a daring raid on the heart of Japan itself.

Tougher still is doing it with a full bomb load. But for Lt. Col. James Doolittle (Spencer Tracy) and the crewmen of 16 B-25s, that just the start of the mission.
