Col. Paul Tibbetts piloted the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in World War 2.
The story of Colonel Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the Enola Gay, the bomber that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Although unaware of the full potential of this new weapon, he knows that it is capable of doing tremendously more damage than any other weapon used before, and that the death toll resulting from it will be enormous. He is reluctant to be the person who will end so many lives, but if using it may bring an end to the war, then not doing so may result in even more lives being lost in continued ground assaults as the fighting goes on. At the same time, the intense secrecy surrounding this mission leaves him with no one he can express his thoughts and doubts to, not even his wife. As time goes on, the pressure upon him only increase.
Robert Taylor and Eleanor Parker star in this true story about Col. Paul Tibbets, the commanding officer of the 509th Special Bomber Group and the pilot who dropped the world's first atomic bomb on Japan in 1945. Taylor is outstanding! The film follows both the personal and professional life of Tibbets, and we as the viewer know that Tibbets alone must bear this very unique burden. He doesn't relish killing thousands of Japanese, but truly believes he and his mission will save thousands of American lives.
James Whitmore gives his usual fine performance as Major Uanna, the "security" chief, and Jim Baccus (Mister Magoo) looks good playing General Curtis Lemay.
I urge you to see this movie, especially if you are one of the "victims" of the 1990's style political correctness, and believe that the USA shouldn't have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan that ended WWII.

COMMENT: A sequel to "The Beginning Or the End" (1947), "Above and Beyond" supposedly tells the story of Paul Tibbets, the USAF officer who piloted the plane that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima in 1945. As his mission is top-secret, the good-natured pilot is not permitted to tell his shrewish wife what he is doing. Obviously a person who is both ill-fitted and ill-equipped to be a serviceman's spouse, Mrs. Tibbets is depicted in the film as a vitriolic, self- centered, argumentative, unpatriotic shrike who does her best to lambaste her husband at every opportunity. She is an expert at putting her own comfort first, last and always.
Beirne Lay is the astute author of "Twelve O'Clock High". I assume that he wrote all the comparatively fascinating air force footage, whilst Messrs Panama and Frank concocted all the irritating and overlong domestic trivia, including the slandering of Lucy Tibbets (Eleanor Parker) who is paraded here as a bitchy, nagging, utterly selfish virago whose verbal claws are constantly scraping against the impenetrable good humor of her meek, submissive husband (played with appropriate blandness by Robert Taylor).
Whilst it's true that intervals between these nauseatingly relentless bouts of one-sided yaketty-yak are punctuated by some fairly exciting action footage, especially in the training sequences in the secret camp, I strongly advise giving "Above and Beyond" a determined miss.
In fact, on its original release, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer set exactly the right tone for this ridiculous domestic eye-view of the atom bomb attack on Hiroshima from the very start with a clumsily simulated newsreel clip showing a group of overly familiar character actors standing around, impersonating real-life figures watching a print of this film being buried in a time capsule! That sequence was later removed—and no wonder! The contentious nature of the attack is not even hinted at, let alone discussed. "Above and Beyond" is certainly no "Hiroshima, Mon Amour"!
Needless to say, the film drew many complaints. So many, in fact that it was withdrawn and re-edited In its studio re-edited version, "Above and Beyond" now begins with a subtitle telling us that "this story could not be told until secret documents had been de- classified." Then up comes the title, "Above and Beyond", underlined by suitably thunderous music. On the next credit card, we read the stars, Robert Taylor and Eleanor Parker. Unfortunately, it all too soon becomes abundantly clear that the screenwriters have considerably expanded Mrs. Tibbets into an even more shrewish, moronic, mouth-unmuzzled spouse.
What's worse, this impossible character is played all-stops-out by an always hysterical Parker, who yet manages the ritziest of costumes and the most impeccable grooming in the middle of the desert. Saddled with this sort of liability, Robert Taylor gives one of the glummest performances of his career.
The directors don't help any either. The handling is consistently pedestrian. Even when we finally get into the action material, any vicarious sympathy for the hero's predicament is undermined by flat- footed inserts of obvious stock footage.
