"Four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a group of American flyers take part in the first U.S. air retaliation attack against

drama
stars Dana Andrews and Farley Granger as two of the eight 'Doolittle Raiders' who are put on trail in a Japanese civil court, now as P.O.W.s, but as criminals charged with
murder
! As this travesty of justice proceeds, the airmen realize that their only hope of avoiding execution is to reveal to their enemy captors the top-secret details of their flight to
