"The effect of the Blitz on a London family as seen through the eyes of a nine-year-old boy. Partly based on writer-director John Boorman's own experience, it shows the fear and upheaval faced by many families, but also follows the exploits of young Bill (Sebastian Rice-Edwards) as the bombings turn London into a huge adventure playground. The film was nominated for five Oscars, and is only available as part of a double bill with 'Wish You Were Here'."
