Command Decision

Oscar-winner Clark Gable (Gone With the Wind) stars as a senior officer who faces the horror of sending his men on suicide missions over Germany during the last days of World War II.

America's Flying Fortresses are marvels of airborne fury, raining hell in daring World War II bombing runs over Germany.

When the Nazis develop a startling secret weapon-jet fighters—one determined U.S. general realizes that Allied victory depends on destroying the jet factories. Even if scores of Fortresses and their crews perish in the attempt. Even if the brass fights him every blood-soaked inch of the way.

Gable heads a top cast in this powerful insider's look at the wrenching choices officers make in time of war, co-starring Oscar-nominee Walter Pigeon (Mrs. Miniver) and Emmy-nominee Van Johnson (Battleground).

Based on the stage hit, Command Decision combines thrilling aerial pyrotechnics with tense war-room battles to create an indelible portrait of men whose judgment holds the power of life and death.
