“Movie: Midway”

This 2019 combat epic about the Second World War’s Battle of Midway was a pet project of director Roland Emmerich, who struggled to find financing for a drama with flashy special effects and a large ensemble cast. With a $100 million production budget, it’s one of the most expensive independent films ever. Patrick Wilson, Luke Evans, Aaron Eckhart, Dennis Quaid and Woody Harrelson star.
