Actor Tom Hanks and producer-director Steven Spielberg join forces for this documentary celebrating the bravery and accomplishments of wartime combat photographers. Among those interviewed are Hollywood directors Richard Brooks and Russ Meyer, both of whom put in hard time filming the activities of American fighting men in Europe and the Pacific. Much of the footage shown herein, the storming of Normandy beach on D-Day, the charnel of the Nazi death camps, the aerial shots of the first atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima, is familiar, but compelling nonetheless.
