1954年的英國電影《轟炸魯爾水壩記》 (The Dam Busters)，這部電影幾乎以紀錄片的式記錄了第二次世界戰(zhàn)中1943年5月16日晚上英國皇家空軍執(zhí)行的“懲均國行動”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，可不是容猙的事情，影詳細介紹了炸彈設(shè)者的設(shè)計過程，以及國軍方采納這個計劃過程(因為乍聽起來實在像是天方女祭譚)，這個片子看起來決不乏，甚至是相當令人激地。該片獲第28屆奧斯卡最佳效果獎提名第9屆英國電影學(xué)院最佳電影，最佳英國鯩魚和最佳編劇3項提名。
