The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell

Description

Gary Cooper (High Noon) portrays a controversial American hero in this
electrifying, true story of he most sensational military trial in our
Country’s history. It is the end of WWI and the birth of aerial warfare.
Though airplanes had only been used for reconnaissance, Brigadier General
Billy Mitchell has foreseen their deadly power and importance in future combat
as bombers and fighter planes. But his superiors in the Army Air Service are
blind to his prophecy and when Mitchell begins to campaign to build an armed
Air Force against their will, they brand him a traitor and summon him for
court-martial. Although the Army attempts to cover up the trial, it becomes an
explosive media event that explores the self-serving incompetence of the
military and how one man’s vision can serve to shape history. The stellar cast
includes Charles Bickford, Ralph Bellamy, Rod Steiger, Elizabeth Montgomery,
Jack Lord, Peter Graves, Darren McGavin and Fred Clark. Directed by Otto
Preminger (Anatomy of a Murder).
