Midway – A war’s defining battle . . . A nation’s defining moment . . . The Battle of Midway sounded its furious thunder in June 1942, just six months after the attack on Pearl Harbour. Midway interweaves the dramatic personal stories of the men who fought the courageous battle that was to be the Pacific turning point for the United States. The all-star cast and breathtaking war footage convey the Battle of midway with powerful reality and epic sweep. General Douglas MacArthur – General Douglas MacArthur (Gregory Peck), one of the most controversial public figures of our time, is the subject of this superb biographical drama which traces his outstanding career. In 1942, with his position in the Philippines made hopeless by Japan’s destruction “I shall return!” MacArthur does return, with riveting victories in the Pacific and the deft handling of the democratisation of Japan, he is also armed with Presidential aspirations. While serving in Korea, it is there that his colossal ego and insubordination results in dismissal by Truman in 1951. MacArthur is a compelling story which explores the many facets of his ambitious character. It clearly demonstrates his brilliance as a strategist, his lust for publicity and flair for dramatics.
