Plot: What's the story about?
Set during WW II, Arthur Meyerowitz's, an American turret-gunner, B-24 bomber is shot down over Vichy France in 1943. While hiding in the French countryside, Meyerowitz befriends Marcel Talliander, the founder of the legendary French resistance group Morhange, who helps shelter Meyerowitz from the Gestapo through his secret network. After six months of barely evading capture, Meyerowitz escapes through a carefully orchestrated plan that also involves R.F.W. Cleaver, one of the most accomplished British fighter pilots of the war.
