If you loved Youngblood, try Bat*21
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 Peter Markle, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Youngblood, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bat*21 is
You're an Air Force navigator deep behind enemy lines when your plane goes down. A delay in extraction strands you in the path of an imminent bombing run. With a reconnaissance pilot you barely know you plot coordinates through unfamiliar terrain. A 1988 war thriller shot in Thailand with Gene Hackman and Danny Glover, the film lingers over the quiet before another sortie.
