overview
What is Attack Squadron about?
A dramatic story of the last days of the Imperial Japanese Air Force. Lt. Col. Senda resists the idea of sending Japanese fighter pilots on suicide missions. He believes that what is really necessary for Japan to regain momentum in the war is for the air force to gather its most brilliant pilots into an elite squadron and use the unit to pinpoint attacks on the Americans. Disrespected by the kamikaze pilots who think the "non-suicidal" pilots are afraid, the unit redeems itself by stunning victories. But success leads the military leaders to expect too much of the unit, and new orders portend disaster. It blends action, drama, war elements. The film reflects a distinct Japan style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Shūe Matsubayashi. With a runtime of 1h 41m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
