The B-17 Flying Fortress became an icon of American air power in World War II, but its legacy is written by the stories of the crews who flew it. In "10 Good Men," ten veterans recount their experiences from across the full span of the air war in Europe. Pilots, navigators, bombardiers, and gunners speak candidly about their missions, training, and survival—some shot down and captured, others completing dozens of sorties. Structured chronologically, the film traces the Allied air campaign's evolution: early daylight raids met with huge losses, the arrival of long-range fighter escorts, the evolution of German flak and fighter strategies, and the final push that helped the Allies win the war. The narrative builds through the veterans themselves—men reflecting, eight decades later, on what they endured, what it cost, and why it matters today. Supported by newly restored archival footage from both American and German archives, original photography, and modern interviews, "10 Good Men" documents both the machinery of war and the humanity behind it. It serves as a testament to a generation now in its final years and to the role they played in defining the course of history. Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram

The Phantom is back to thrill audiences once again! Cameron Mackintosh presents a revitalized new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, which was rapturously received by London critics when it reopened in 2021. Featuring Maria Björnson’s brilliant original design and based on the celebrated direction of Harold Prince, with musical staging and choreography by Gillian Lynne, PHANTOM’s new multi-year North American tour will make its premiere at the Civic Theatre September 2-13, 2026 as part of Broadway San Diego’s 26-27 Season. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in history, playing to over 160 million people in 47 territories and 195 cities in 21 languages. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic, haunting, and soaring score includes “The Music of the Night,” “All I Ask of You,” “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,” “Masquerade,” and the iconic title song. It tells the tale of a disfigured musical genius known only as ‘The Phantom’ who haunts the depths of the Paris Opera House. Mesmerized by the talents and beauty of a young soprano, Christine, The Phantom lures her as his protégé and falls fiercely in love with her. Unaware of Christine’s love for Raoul, The Phantom’s obsession sets the scene for a dramatic turn of events where jealousy, madness, and passions collide. Please note: There are also performances on Thursday, Sept 3 at 2 p.m., and Tuesday, Sept 8 at 7 p.m. Buy tickets and view full schedule here: https://www.sandiegotheatres.org/events/detail/the-phantom-of-the-opera-2026 San Diego Civic Theatre on Facebook / Instagram
