Above and Beyond is the story of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, as told from the perspective of the man who flew the mission. Robert Taylor stars as Col. Paul Tibbetts, commander of the Enola Gay. Once selected for this extremely dangerous mission, Tibbetts must hand-pick a crew worthy of the task. He is also forced to keep his mission a closely guarded secret, even unto withholding all information from his loving and patient wife Lucey (Eleanor Parker). The film concentrates on the strain placed upon Tibbetts, his crew and their families in the crucial days before the “big drop”. The bombing itself is handled with taste and decorum, though the horror and mixed emotions of the moment are brilliantly conveyed on the faces of Tibbetts and his men. Above and Beyond represents a rare noncomedy endeavor from the writer-director team of Melvin Frank and Norman Panama., Robert Taylor portrays Col Paul Tibbets, the man who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, in Above And Beyond (1952)., 1940. The war is taking its toll. Now, France has fallen swiftly to the enemy, resulting in a disaster of immense proportions. As virtually all of Western Europe is conquered, England braces itself for an inevitable invasion by German troops. The only hope to defy Hitler is the Royal Air Force. But as German U-boats destroy the shipments of aircraft as quickly as the US factories supply them, the Allies are desperate for new fighter planes. Lord Beaverbrook, Minister of Aircraft Production in Winston Churchill’s wartime government, has a bold proposal: engage the new planes using Newfoundland, the most easterly province of Canada, as its base. Closer to Europe than any other part of North America, it would provide a flawless operation., The story of Colonel Paul Tibbets is presented, as the pilot is tasked with piloting the plane that would infamously drop the atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima in 1945.
