During the air war over Vietnam, a U.S. Navy A-6 Intruder bomber pilot schemes with a hardened veteran to make an unauthorized air strike on Hanoi.
Flight of the Intruder delivers a visceral experience of naval aviation during the Vietnam War, a period that parallels the intensity and danger of my own flying career. The film's portrayal of the A-6 Intruder and its missions is both gripping and technically sound, offering a rare glimpse into the complexities of aerial combat and the strategic decisions that shape it. The narrative is as much about the psychological toll of war as it is about the tactical maneuvers, providing a comprehensive view of the aviator's experience. A commendable effort that resonates with the precision and discipline I value in storytelling.
