IMDb 6.3

A solid historical deep-dive that respects its weighty subject matter, but the 6.3 IMDb score signals this TV movie lacks the cinematic punch to truly grip you tonight. Skip it unless you're specifically hunting a procedural breakdown of the Enola Gay mission—otherwise, there are better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

The story of Col. Paul Tibbets and his crew who flew the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, bringing World War II to a close.
