It’s always worth remembering that war is a brutal and often cynical affair. Mike Nichol’s prestige project drew from a canonical source and features an all-star cast but has gone down in history as a bomb. Perhaps audiences weren’t ready for a film as assured yet caustically absurd as this. Allan Arkin’s terrified bombardier plays off an entire squadron of ace straight men, especially Jon Voight as late capitalism personified. -Lee Gardner
