Description:
Based on true events, this "exciting, engrossing [and] breathtaking" (The Hollywood Reporter) action-adventure stars OscarÂ(r) winners* Cliff Robertson and George Chakiris as two WWII fliers pitted against the Nazis in a do-or-die mission. Filled with "blazing, pulse-pounding and realistic air-fighting footage" (Boxoffice), 633 Squadron will "put your heart in your throat" (Los Angeles Times)! 1944. Allied forces learn that the Nazis are planning to pummel England with an all-out rocket blitz. The only way to stop the threat is to send Mosquito bombers into narrow Norwegian fjords to create an avalanche that will crush the Nazis rocket-fuel plants. Can Wing Commander Roy Grant (Robertson) and the boys of the courageous 633 Squadron pull it off? And if so, will they live to reap the glory?

Although the story line of this 633 Squadron is entirely fictional, the air and ground cinematography relating to the Mosquito fighter-bombers is good. There are a few scenes where models have been (unavoidably) used which, by today's standards, are just passable. Overall, it is good movie to keep for all aviation enthusiasts who wish to enjoy watching one of the well-regarded combat aircraft of World War II.

The attraction of this film is that it contains actual footage of the De Haviland Mosquito a famous British bomber of WWII. Although the special effects seem dated the footage is worth the price of the DVD alone. Seeing this film for the first time was the inspiration to by and build the model of Mosquito bomber, the true star of this film.
