Oktober 1917. Storbritannien har förlorat många av sina bästa piloter under kriget. Till 76:e divisionen anländer den unge Croft som bara har femton timmar flygtid i blodet.<br/>"Grabbar som du brukar klara sig fjorton dagar", lyder det bryska välkomnandet. Men snart inser Croft att alla känner samma fruktan inför flyguppdragen, till och med flygaresset<br/>Gresham. Vissa dövar sig med sprit. Vissa bryter ihop. Vissa räknar iskallt med att bli nedskjutna. Och fallskärmar är förbjudna, eftersom de anses sätta ned piloternas mod...<br/><br/>ACES HIGH innehåller några av de mest fantastiska flygstrider som gjorts på film. Bland beundrarna finns Iron Maiden, vars berömda låt med samma namn är inspirerad av<br/>filmen. Den stjärnspäckade rollistan utgörs av namn som Malcolm McDowell, Peter Firth, Simon Ward, Trevor Howard och den Oscarbelönade trion Christopher Plummer, Ray<br/>Milland och Sir John Gielgud.

John Thaw stars in this adaptation of Michelle Magorian's novel. The outbreak of the Second World War sees nine-year-old Willie Beech (Nick Robinson) evacuated from London and billeted with crotchety widower Tom Oakley (Thaw) in the village of Little Weirwold. Willie is a sad little boy who has not had a happy or easy life, but he and Tom gradually warm to each other, and a strong friendship develops between the pair.<br/><br/>Tom is therefore saddened and upset when Willie's mother (Annabelle Apsion) unexpectedly summons him back to the capital at the height of the Blitz.
