This heroic story follows the life of Karol Wojtyla, a Polish Roman catholic who ascends the throne of St. Peter as Pope John Paul II. As a young boy, Karol is a bright and talented student. Archbishop Sapieha recognizes the very special, moving qualities Karol possesses and encourages him to consider the priesthood. Although determined to study Polish literature, Karol turns to the church; he is ordained and studies in Italy, France, and Belgium. Torn by fear and repression in post-Stalin Eastern Europe, Karol becomes a poisonous thorn in the communists' side. His deer reverence and commitment return him to Poland as Pope John Paul II.

En 1942, alors que l'Angleterre ne cesse d'être victime des raids aériens allemands, l'ingénieur Barnes N. Wallis étudie le moyen de faire sauter les trois barrages de la Moehne sur la Ruhr. Seule une bombe explosant au fond de l'eau pourra, l'onde de choc aidant, ébranler la formidable maçonnerie. Wallis parvient à ses fins en imaginant un engin cylindrique de cinq tonnes qui, lâché à une vitesse précise et une distance bien déterminée, rebondira par ricochets sur la surface de l'eau pour couler au pied du barrage. Après plusieurs tentatives infructueuses sur des maquettes, Wallis réussit à faire adopter son projet par la R.A.F. grâce à l'intervention du général Arthur Harris. Aidé du commandant Whitworth, le lieutenant-colonel Gibson, à la tête d'un imposant groupe d'aviateurs, met au point la technique très délicate du bombardement...
