1954年的英國(guó)電影《轟炸魯爾水壩記》 (The Dam Busters)，這部電影幾乎以紀(jì)錄片的形式記錄了第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中1943年5月16日晚上英國(guó)皇家空軍執(zhí)行的“懲戒行動(dòng)”。　　This film, details the Allied efforts to target German dams during World War Two. In very methodical, but also enthusiastic fashion, they figured out what plane, what bomb, what angle, what altitude, etc., were necessary to inflict maximum damage to the dams, while minimizing losses to the planes. The answer they came up with, sounds absurd, but it worked: very large, cylindrical bombs rotating backwards at a high rate of speed, causing them, when dropped, to skip along the sureface of the water, right up to the base of the dam.　　要炸掉水壩，可不是容易的事情，電影詳細(xì)介紹了炸彈設(shè)計(jì)者的設(shè)計(jì)過程，以及英國(guó)軍方采納這個(gè)計(jì)劃的過程(因?yàn)檎犉饋韺?shí)在像是天方夜譚)，這個(gè)片子看起來決不乏味，甚至是相當(dāng)令人激動(dòng)地。該片獲第28屆奧斯卡最佳效果獎(jiǎng)提名及第9屆英國(guó)電影學(xué)院最佳電影，最佳英國(guó)電影和最佳編劇3項(xiàng)提名。
