Alan Arkin, Jon Voigt and Bob Newhart star in Joseph Heller's scathing black comedy; a tale of a small group of flyers in the Mediterranean in 1944.

Joseph Heller's brilliant satire on the insanity of war is brought to the big screen by director Mike Nichols and a suitably eclectic cast.

Alan Arkin, Art Garfunkel, Orson Welles, Jon Voight and Anthony ‘Psycho’ Perkins are among the military types who are dazed, confused and driven to distraction by their part in World War II.

The humour is apparent but the odd shocking moment puts everything into context.
