What is the WWII movie with John Travolta as Jimmy Doolittle, flying the attack on Japan? -

John Travolta is the main actor, and he s trying to carry out Jimmy Doolittle s real plan from WWII. They have to fly all the bombers off of the carrier at sea, and fly over to drop the bombs on Japan. What s the movie?

Alec Baldwin played Doolittle in Michael Bay s 2001 movie Pearl Harbor. Is that who you re thinking of? There s an old documentary called Jimmy Doolittle: An American Hero (1988). http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Jimmy_Dooli... but it starred Jimmy Doolittle and James Stewart. P.S.--I looked at John Travolta s filmography on IMDb and I don t see one in which he played that role. Maybe I missed it...you can take a look at the link provided below.

The only movie I know of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo is quot;Thirty Seconds Over Tokyoquot; staring Spencer Tracy and Van Johnson. It is an old film.
