In 1940s, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor destroyed Americans’ morale. President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to risk it all to bomb Tokyo, raising the public’s hopes. Bombardment air crafts led by U.S lieutenant colonel Jimmy Doolittle took off from a massive aircraft carrier. However, after completing their missions, the bombardment air craft pilots had to bail out at the coastal areas near Zhejiang due to shortage of fuel. A young pilot, Jack Turner (Hirsch), was saved by a young local widow named Ying (Liu), who risked her life as she hid the injured American pilot in her house.
