这是一部根据真实历史改变的故事。讲述二战，82空降师一个新兵的故事，他的特殊任务就是在进攻诺曼底前30分钟，战略定位，标记，投放区域，并设定绝密的导航仪器，以引导在D日突袭空降。

A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.
