On route Brian meets the great innovators of 3D past and present including James Cameron, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Robert Zemeckis and the team at Pixar.

David, a young British Spitfire pilot, writes a war diary for the baby son he has not yet seen.

Vincenzo is an Italian ‘human torpedo’ who, sitting astride his bomb, must pilot it into one of the most heavily defended harbours in the world, attach it to the hull of a British ship and blow it to pieces.

The story follows the parallel war experiences of Vincenzo and David who are unaware that their paths cross several times before they finally come face-to-face at the dramatic climax in Malta’s Grand Harbour.

Inspired by real events as recorded in wartime diaries from both sides, this is a war story for our times, about what makes people willing to take terrible acts of destruction in the full knowledge that their own lives will be sacrificed in the process.

For The Boy is written by Christopher Mander .
