If you loved The Patriot, try Midway

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Roland Emmerich, and they both carry the epic mood tag, and they sit in Action / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Patriot, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Midway is

Pacific Ocean, 1942, naval ships on fire. American pilots scramble, Japanese bombers close in, a turning point in the war hangs in the balance. Emmerich stages chaos with precision.
