Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket) and Eric Stoltz (Anaconda) head the dynamic cast of Memphis Belle, an adventure inspired by true World War II heroics. Producers David Puttnam and Catherine Wyler used her father William Wyler's 1944 film about the famed Flying Fortress as inspiration. Director Michael Caton-Jones (The Jackal) cast top-flight actors: Billy Zane (Titanic), Harry Connick Jr. (Copycat), Tate Donovan (Love Potion #9), D.B. Sweeney (The Cutting Edge), Sean Astin (Rudy), David Strathairn (L.A. Confidential), Reed Diamond (Homicide: Life on the Street) and John Lithgow (3rd Rock from the Sun). In these talented ranks, Memphis Belle soars.

Never seen so much cigarette smoking as there is in this movie, it was terrible, the movie was'nt much better either.

Brilliant movie. It makes you really feel for those guys in those planes that crammed 10 in such close quarters.
Great story and shows what happened in those air fights.
I highly recommend it to anyone who likes war movies.

Excellent. Great depiction of what it was like right down to the attitudes of the American soldiers encompassing the sloppiness and inefficiencies of some and the professionalism of others.

This was just an excellent movie. My husband is a pilot, and I reckon he'd give it 5 stars. Likeable characters, engaging story, great old planes, based on a true story. Bits of sadness, but lots of hope too.

Well constructed movie on the 25th raid by the Memphis Belle and it's crew over Germany. Couldn't leave this movie until the heart tugging finale of the Belle just getting the crew home to England.
