Il 6 giugno 1944 fu il D-Day, il giorno dello sbarco angloamericano in Normandia che colse di sorpresa l'agguerrita Wehrmacht della Germania nazista. Varie fasi dell'impresa: l'occupazione di Saint-Mére Eglise e l'avanzata sulla spiaggia. Colossal di propaganda bellica (3 registi, 44 attori di varia nazionalità, tutti di buon nome) il cui vero autore è il produttore D.F. Zanuck. Fragore, spettacolo e almeno due o tre sequenze da ricordare. Oscar per la fotografia in cinemascope e bianconero e per gli effetti speciali. Basato su un libro di Cornelius Ryan, che collaborò alla sceneggiatura con Romain Gary, James Jones, David Pursale, Jack Seddam.
