In very methodical, but also enthusiastic fashion, they figured out what plane, what bomb, what angle, what altitude, etc., were necessary to inflict maximum damage to the dams, while minimizing losses to the planes. The answer they came up with, sounds absurd, but it worked: very large, cylindrical bombs rotating backwards at a high rate of speed, causing them, when dropped, to skip along the sureface of the water, right up to the base of the dam.要炸掉水坝，可不是容易的事情，电影详细介绍了炸弹设计者的设计过程，以及英国军方采纳这个计划的过程(因为乍听起来实在像是天方夜谭)，这个片子看起来决不乏味，甚至是相当令人激动地。该片获第28届奥斯卡最佳效果奖提名及第9届英国电影学院最佳电影，最佳英国电影和最佳编剧3项提名。
