The film was nominated for the 22nd Oscars Best Picture and Best Actor and won the Best Supporting Actor Award.
During World War II, the US Air Force’s Eighth Air Strike Force suffered heavy losses after a long battle with the Germans. The team’s momentum and fighting spirit were exhausted, but the tense battle conditions did not allow them to relax. As a result, the headquarters sent a new commander FRANKY ( Gregory Peck ) to take over these teams, hoping to regain their strength . The task FRANKY faced was extremely difficult, but his firm will, extraordinary tolerance and tenacious spirit of resistance deeply infected every member of the army, and in the end their contribution far exceeded the standard of a team.
