In the early days of daylight bombing raids over Germany, General Frank Savage must take command of a 'hard luck' bomber group. Much of the story deals with his struggle to whip his group into a disciplined fighting unit in spite of heavy losses, and withering attacks by German fighters over their targets.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Twelve O'Clock High' is a war drama focused on military leadership and combat in WWII. The only identified connection is a 'Holiday Release,' which does not qualify as a narrative element. All criteria related to setting, plot, themes, iconography, and resolution score as 'None'."
