93. "633 Squadron" (1964)

Tonight we revisit the Royal Air Force for a special bombing mission: to destroy a German V-2 rocket factory. But that's easier said than done, given the details of the mission. Meanwhile, what will become of the Norwegian resistance-fighter helping the mission? Can gruff American Roy Grant separate his feelings about the mission from his feelings about the resistance-fighter's sister? Let's find out!... Asides include yet another "Sopranos" reference, the "Top Gun" sequel, the 1986 Challenger explosion, and the decades-long debate over whether tonight's movie or 1955's "The Dambusters" influenced the Death-Star scene in "Star Wars."
